Abstract

The object of the invention is to provide a generator easy to assemble even if there is an obstacle such as a turbine in the axial direction of the rotor of the generator. A generator comprising: a rotor having a permanent magnet placed therein and supported to be rotatable, and a stator having a field coil wound thereon, characterized in that, the rotor is provided with a seating made of a magnetic material for supporting the permanent magnet and a pole shoe made of a magnetic material placed in the outward radial direction of the permanent magnet.

Claims (17)

1. A generator comprising:

a sub-exciter installed in a space between a coupling and a rotor shaft of the generator, the sub-exciter including:

a rotor having a permanent magnet placed therein and supported to be rotatable; and

a stator having an armature coil wound thereon, which is placed in a radial outward direction of the rotor;

wherein the rotor is provided with a seating made of a magnetic material for supporting the permanent magnet, which is placed in a radial inward direction of the permanent magnet, a pole shoe made of a magnetic material is placed in a radial outward direction of the permanent magnet, a width in an axial direction of the permanent magnet is greater than that of the seating, and the stator includes a plurality of divisions, and the width of the permanent magnet in the circumferential direction is greater than the width of the seating in the circumferential direction.

2. A generator according to claim 1 , further comprising;

the permanent magnet is provided with a cover thereon, the cover has convex or concave parts thereon, the seating has concave or convex parts thereon, and the convex or concave parts of the cover is fitted into their corresponding concave or convex parts of the seating.

3. A generator according to claim 1 ,

further comprising;

the rotor is provided with a pole shoe placed in the outward radial direction of the permanent magnet, the permanent magnet has a cover thereon, the cover has convex or concave parts thereon, the seating has concave or convex parts thereon, and the convex or concave parts of the cover is fitted into their corresponding concave or convex parts of the seating.

4. A generator according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pole shoe and the stator have their maximum gap and their minimum gap between them such that the ratio of the maximum gap to the minimum gap is given as 1.2 or more.

5. A generator according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pole shoe and the stator have their maximum gap and their minimum gap between them such that the ratio of the maximum gap to the minimum gap is given as 1.33 or more.

6. A generator according to claim 1 , wherein the product of the number of the parallel circuits in the armature coil on the stator multiplied by that of the number of phases is equal to the number of the stator divisions.

7. A generator according to claim 1 ,

wherein the number of the stator divisions along with the number of the parallel circuits in the armature coil on the stator is two.
