Armature windings and dynamo-electric machine using the same
View Patent ↗An armature winding includes a plurality of strand groups each having strands transposed and bound in at least two rows and multiple tiers, and a main insulator for covering the strand group. The strands belonging to a strand group on one side of a central strand group has a cross-sectional area smaller than that of the control strand group, and the strands belonging to the strand group on the other side of the central strand group has a cross-sectional area larger than that of the central strand group.
1. An armature winding comprising:
a strand group having strands transposed and bound in at least two rows and multiple tiers, said strands including solid strands and hollow strands through which a cooling medium passes; and
a main insulator for covering said strand group,
wherein said hollow strands are arranged only on an upper side in the cross-section of said strand group, and said solid strands are arranged in the remaining area.
2. An armature winding comprising:
three strand groups each having strands transposed and bound in at least two rows and multiple tiers, said strands including solid strands and hollow strands through which a cooling medium passes; and
a main insulator for covering said three strand groups,
wherein said strands belonging to a strand group positioned on one side of a strand group positioned at the center of said three strand groups have a cross-sectional area smaller than a cross-sectional area of said strands belonging to said central strand group, and said strand belonging to a strand group positioned on the other side of said central strand group has a cross-sectional area larger than the cross-sectional area of said strands belong to said central strand group.
