Abstract: A vent plate for supporting a finger having a rivet portion is disposed intermediate adjacent core laminations in a dynamoelectric machine. A plurality of finger members secured to the vent plate cooperate with the core laminations to define a ventilation duct for circulation of a cooling gas through the core. The vent plate has a plurality of slot openings arranged to receive the rivet portions of each finger. The vent plate slots are characterized by a bow-tie outline defined by intersecting planar and curved side surfaces which permits variable orientation of rivet portions through a predetermined angular range.

Abstract: Multiphase bridge circuit for electric machines includes a rotating rectifier assembly having cooling members, rectifier cells and fuses, and including a carrier wheel having a radially outer annular flange extending therefrom, the rectifier cells being radially outwardly braced at the inner side of the annular flange, the cooling members being current-conductive and being interposed between the rectifier cells and the inner side of the annular flange, the cooling members being electrically connected with the rectifier cells and being insulated from the carrier wheel, and the fuses being directly braced at the annular flange, one of the fuses, respectively, being serially connected with each of the cooling members, the outer annular flange having a free side spaced from the carrier wheel, the fuses being fastened at the free side of the outer annular flange at locations thereof alternatingly offset from one another in axial direction of the carrier wheel.

Abstract: A pole coil wherein improved heat transfer at cooling fins thereof is achieved and includes cooling fins which are subdivided in the longitudinal direction into short portions which are bent out so that they are disaligned with each other. The pole coil is suitable for electrical machines and apparatus and especially for the revolving excitation windings of synchronous electric machines.
