Abstract

A stator winding of a directly cooled turbogenerator comprises directly gas cooled double Roebel bars is arranged as active parts in slots of a stator body. Each double Roebel bar has two single Roebel bars, which includes each a stack of a plurality of transposed individual strands, and are separated by an intermediate stack of cooling tubes. Mounting space is saved by constructing, for the compensation of stray field voltages, at least one double Roebel bar as a cross-over bar with the strands being transposed over the stack of cooling tubes in the middle in order to change the sides of the single Roebel bars along the active part.

Claims (15)

1. A stator winding of a directly cooled electric machine, comprising:

directly gas cooled double Roebel bars arranged as active parts in slots of a stator body, with each double Roebel bar consisting of two single Roebel bars, separated by a single intermediate cooling tube stack between the double Roebel bars;

each single Roebel bar of the double Roebel bars comprising a stack of a plurality of transposed individual strands; and

at least one double Roebel bar constructed as a cross-over bar with individual strands transposed over the single intermediate cooling tube stack to change the individual strands from one single Roebel bar of the double Roebel bar to another single Roebel bar of another double Roebel bar on an opposite side of the single intermediate cooling tube stack of the active part for compensation of stray field voltages.

2. The stator winding according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of cross-over bars.

3. The stator winding according to claim 1 , wherein at the cross-over bar an uppermost individual strand and a lowermost individual strand, respectively, of the stack of the plurality of transposed individual strands are transposed together.

4. The stator winding according to claim 3 , wherein a total Roebelisation angle in the active part of the cross-over bar is 540°.

5. The stator winding according to claim 4 , wherein the total Roebelisation angle is achieved by a sequence of three transpositions of 180° each.

6. The stator winding according to claim 5 , wherein all transpositions cross the single intermediate cooling tube stack either in parallel and/or crosswise.

7. The stator winding according to claim 6 , wherein all transpositions cross the single intermediate cooling tube stack in parallel.

8. The stator winding according to claim 6 , wherein all transpositions cross the single intermediate cooling tube stack crosswise.

9. The stator winding according to claim 6 , wherein in the sequence of three 180° transpositions, the first and third transpositions are in parallel, while the second transposition is crosswise.

10. The stator winding according to claim 5 , wherein in the sequence of three 180° transpositions, the first and third transpositions are done individually inside the single Roebel bars, while the second transposition crosses the single intermediate cooling tube stack crosswise.

11. The stator winding according to claim 1 , wherein end windings are transposed.

12. The stator winding according to claim 11 , wherein each end winding is transposed by 90° or 180°.
