  • Patent number: 7579739
    Abstract: Sub core sections are arranged at the end portions and the center portion of a stator core, and strand conductors are twisted and transposed by 360 degrees continuously toward the extending direction of winding slot. The length corresponding to transposition pitch 180 degrees of the strand conductors of the stator core is set as one core unit area, the sub core sections including portions whose space factors are different are arranged such that the sum of voltages in the strands induced in the strand conductors in the odd-numbered core unit area from one end portion of the stator core offsets the sum of voltages in the strands induced in the strand conductors in the even-numbered core unit area from the end portion of the core.

  • Publication number: 20080296989
    Abstract: The depth from the open end of a rotor slot closest to a magnetic pole of a rotary core to a slot bottom or the bottom of a subslot provided as a coolant ventilation path on a rotor slot bottom is made less than the depth of slots at and after a second slot counted from the magnetic pole side in the direction of internal circumference, and when a shortest distance between the bottoms of the rotor slots opposed to each other through a magnetic pole or a shortest distance between the bottoms of the subslots is assumed to be a magnetic pole width of the slots, a magnetic pole width Wp1 of a slot closest to the magnetic pole side is set to 85% or more of a magnetic pole width Wp2 of a second slot counted from the magnetic pole side in the direction of internal circumference.

  • Publication number: 20080252156
    Abstract: A rotor of a rotating electric machine includes a cylindrical rotor core, a plurality of coil slots provided on an outer periphery of the rotor core along a rotor axis direction, rotor coils disposed in the coil slots by laminating a plurality of field conductors through an insulation material, a rotor wedge disposed at an opening end portion of the coil slot so as to support the rotor coil, a coil ventilation duct formed in the coil slot so as to pass through the rotor coils, the rotor wedge and the insulation material, and sub-slots provided at bottom portions of the coil slots so as to be communicated with rotor core ends and the coil ventilation ducts. In such a rotor of a rotating electric machine, the coil slot, the sub-slots and the coil ventilation duct constitute a cooling gas channel for distributing a cooling gas to thereby cool the rotor coils.

  • Publication number: 20080012437
    Abstract: A rotary electric machine includes: a stator, a rotor and rotor fans contained in a closed type frame. The cooling gas is circulated in the frame by the rotor fans and warmed as a result of heat exchange with the stator and the rotor is cooled by a gas cooler. A heat pump is adapted to use cooling water or ambient air as high temperature heat source and liquid coolant as low temperature heat source. A liquid coolant circulation system for supplying liquid coolant to the heat exchange section of the gas cooler is provided. The liquid coolant is cooled by the heat pump and is supplied to the heat exchange section of the gas cooler by means of the coolant circulation system.
