  • Patent number: 5144180
    Abstract: A two-stator induction synchronous motor includes a unitary rotor having a first rotor assembly and a second rotor assembly each of which is formed by a permanent magnet and a rotor core. The first rotor assembly and the second rotor assembly respectively have a first pair of and a second pair of magnetic poles of the permanent magnets disposed in such a relative relation that the former and the latter are displaced by 180.degree. or 0.degree. with each other. The motor also includes a phase shifting means which produces a phase difference of 0.degree. or 180.degree. between a voltage induced in rotor conductive members by a rotating magnetic field generated around the first rotor assembly and a voltage induced in rotor conductive members by a rotating magnetic field generated around the second rotor assembly.

  • Patent number: 4872256
    Abstract: The object of the process is to obtain an intermediate short-circuiting ring in a squirrel cage rotor by filling. It makes use of the technique consisting in automatically cutting out and assembling rotor laminations by means of a follow-on machine in which the laminations are cut out from a strip, rotated through a determined angle and provided with half-cutouts for their assembly in a packet. The process consists in eliminating at least one tooth in every two from the laminations whose position in the packet corresponds to the situation of the intermediate short-circuiting ring, and turning these laminations through an angle such that when filling is effected a continuous annular zone of nonmagnetic material is obtained.

  • Patent number: 4716329
    Abstract: To eliminate armature or rotor reaction or leakage flux (leakage reactance) in an electric rotating machine, a short-circuit coil winding is wound on and through the rotor or an armature core of the machine. The short-circuit coil winding is wound at a right angle to the main coil to exclude any intervention. Due to placement of a non-magnetic material in the armature core, the leakage flux which flows in the non-magnetic material is reduced and the flux of the stator and the rotor flows separately along both sides to the inner part of the armature or rotor ring core. Due to the non-magnetic material, the flux which occurs due to the current of the transformer m.m.f. of this short-circuit ring coil extends substantially into the airgap, therefore to abate the effect of armature reaction flux in the airgap.

  • Patent number: 4692647
    Abstract: To eliminate rotor reaction in an induction motor, double ring coils are wound on and through the rotor core in addition to the main coils at right angles to the main coil plane. By placement of a nonmagnetic material at the center of the rotor, the flux of the stator and rotor flows in separate paths at opposite sides of the rotor core and not through the shaft, to produce a transformer (induced) m.m.f. in the double ring coils. The flux which occurs due to the current of the transformer (induced) m.m.f. of the double ring coils extends substantially into the air gap by virtue of the nonmagnetic material to abate the effect of the rotor reaction in the air gap.

  • Patent number: 4453101
    Abstract: An end portion of a free conductor bar of a pole-face winding for the rotor of a large dynamoelectric machine includes a flat at its radially outermost extremity. The end fits loosely within an oversized hole in an amortisseur ring. The presence of the flat displaces the contact line between the end portion and the hole from a thin bridge region of the amortisseur ring to two lines of contact displaced inward into the body of the material of the amortisseur ring. The reduced contact force and the repositioning of the contact location avoids cracking in the amortisseur rings of large dynamoelectric machines.

  • Patent number: 4139790
    Abstract: A permanent magnet rotor for a permanent magnet synchronous-run induction-state motor is disclosed. The rotor has Rare Earth magnets disposed in apertures in unitary laminations and parallel to a tangent to the shaft. The magnets are magnetized outwardly so that the direct flux of the magnets is additive to the direct axis flux of the stator at no load. The rotor has a squirrel cage winding and the ends of each magnet aperture are in communication through a flux barrier space to the inner end of an adjacent conductor bar aperture of the squirrel cage winding. The unitary laminations each have an even plurality of radially directed reinforcing ribs disposed along the magnetic neutral axes. The flux barriers are wide relative to the circumferential width of the reinforcing ribs for a minimum of circumferential leakage flux. The leakage flux from one magnet radially through a rib is in opposition to the leakage flux through that rib from the adjacent magnet for substantially zero net leakage flux therein.

  • Patent number: 3996486
    Abstract: An asynchronous machine with a rated power of at least 1 MVA has a laminated stator core which supports a multiphase AC winding and a rotor surrounded by the stator core and having a length substantially greater than the length of the laminated stator core. The rotor has winding slots running axially along its whole length, each of the slots having wall portions facing each other and converging radially outward in connection with a central plane. Winding bars are arranged in the winding slots and are included in a squirrel-cage winding and fit the slot walls. An annular winding portion at each end of the rotor short-circuits the rotor bars, such winding portion lying axially within the end surface of the rotor core and outside the end surface of the stator core. The bars may be U-shaped in cross-section, with one flange of each adjacent pairs of bars located in the same winding slot. The end portions of the rotor core have annular grooves therearound.
