Abstract

In an electrical machinery and apparatus, a storage space is formed along an extension direction of a strand, and a temperature sensor is installed in the storage space of the strand, so that temperature of the strand can be immediately measured, and no pressure is applied to the temperature sensor in the process of forming a ground wall insulation thereby the temperature of the strand can be accurately measured.

Claims (19)

1. An electrical machinery and apparatus comprising:

a rotor having an insulated bar, the insulated bar having strands assembled and a ground wall insulation formed on the outer periphery of the strands assembled, each of the strands being made up of a rectangular wire and having a strand insulation, a first wide-width surface facing the inside diameter side of the rotor, a second wide-width surface facing the outside diameter side of the rotor, and a storage space formed along an extension direction of the strand and being a groove formed on the first wide-width surface of the strand; and

a temperature sensor that is stored in the storage space, wherein

the groove is formed by removing the strand insulation and the wire at a region on the side of the first wide-width surface of the strand, such that the temperature sensor directly contacts the wire, and

the strand insulation is formed on the outer periphery of the strands, except for a portion of the outer periphery of the strands at which the groove is formed.

2. The electrical machinery and apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature sensor is a fiber optic temperature sensor.

3. The electrical machinery and apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the storage space is a hole.

4. The electrical machinery and apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the storage space is defined by a region substantially devoid of the strands.

5. The electrical machinery and apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the region substantially devoid of the strands defines a concave groove.

6. The electrical machinery and apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein along a length of the insulated bar, a portion of the outer periphery of the strands and an adhesive tape alternatingly define a portion of an outer periphery of the insulated bar.

7. An electrical machinery and apparatus comprising:

a rotor having an insulated bar, the insulated bar having strands assembled thereon, the strands: i) being made up of a rectangular wire, ii) having a strand insulation, and iii) having a storage space formed along a length of the insulated bar; and

a temperature sensor that is disposed on the storage space, wherein

a first wide-width surface of the strands faces the inside diameter side of the rotor,

a second wide-with surface of the strands faces the outside diameter side of the rotor,

the storage space is a groove formed on the first wide-width surface of the strands,

the groove is formed by removing the strand insulation and the wire at a region on the side of the first wide-width surface of the strand, such that the temperature sensor directly contacts the wire, and

the strand insulation is formed on the outer periphery of the strands, except for a portion of the outer periphery of the strands at which the groove is formed.

8. The electrical machinery and apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein along the length of the insulated bar, a portion of the outer periphery of the strands and an adhesive tape alternatingly define a portion of an outer periphery of the insulated bar.
