Phase winding and connection methods for three phase dynamoelectric machines
A stator having a first set of phase windings formed by wrapping a conducting wire in a first direction about first, second, and third teeth, a second set of phase windings formed by wrapping, separately in a second direction opposite the first direction, the conducting wire about fourth, fifth, and sixth teeth, a first interconnect wire extending between the winding on the first tooth and the winding on the fourth tooth, a second interconnect wire extending between the winding on the second tooth and the winding on the fifth tooth, a third interconnect wire extending between the winding on the third tooth and the winding on the sixth tooth, and a connection that connects the first, second, and third interconnect wires together.
1. A stator for a three phase dynamoelectric machine, the stator comprising:
a stator core having a plurality teeth radially distributed about a central axis and axially opposing first and second ends; and
at least three equivalent sets of three adjacent phase windings, each set of three adjacent phase windings comprising:
a conducting wire wrapped around i) its first tooth in a first direction to form a first winding, ii) its second tooth in a direction opposite the first direction to form a second winding, and iii) its third tooth in the first direction to form a third winding;
a first interconnect wire extending between the first winding and the second winding, the first interconnect wire located on one of the first or second axial ends;
a second interconnect wire extending from the third winding on the same axial end as the first interconnect wire back towards the first interconnect wire;
a connection connecting the first and second interconnect wires.
2. The stator of claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one end cap including a body portion with an outboard wall, the at least one end cap located on same axial end as the first and second interconnect wires, wherein a portion of the first and second interconnect wires are located on the outboard wall.
3. The stator of claim 1 , wherein, for each set of three adjacent windings, the first and second interconnect wires are formed, respectively, from the conducting wire.
4. The stator of claim 1 , further comprising a lead wire extending from the first axial end of each winding, wherein, for each set of three adjacent windings, all of the lead wires extending from each set's first winding are coupled together, all of the lead wires extending from each set's second winding are coupled together, and all of the lead wires extending from each set's third winding are coupled together.
5. The stator of claim 1 , wherein the first and second interconnect wires in each set of three adjacent windings are located on the first axial end.
6. The stator of claim 1 , wherein the first and second interconnect wires in each set of three adjacent windings are located on the second axial end.
7. The hermetic scroll compressor comprising a stator of claim 1 .
