Abstract

Rotating machinery includes a two-pole rotor, a stator core with seventy-two slots, and three-phase armature windings, as an example. The armature winding has two phase belts per phase. The phase belt includes a first parallel winding and a second parallel winding which are arranged in the stator slots as top coils and bottom coils. When a circumferential mean position of all top coils and bottom coils included in the phase belt is defined as a phase belt center, an arrangement of the first and second parallel windings in the phase belt, as viewed in order of proximity to the phase belt center, is such that the first and second parallel windings are arranged in order of second/first/second/first/first/second/first/second/first/second/second/first parallel windings as the top coils, and the first and second parallel windings are arranged in order of first/second/second/first/second/first/first/second/first/second/second/first parallel windings as the bottom coils connected to the top coils.

Claims (6)

1. Rotating machinery comprising a 2n-pole rotor, a stator core with 72n stator slots, and three-phase armature windings, where n denotes an integer not less than 1, wherein:

each of the stator slots houses a top coil on an inner radius side of each of the stator slots and a bottom coil on an outer radius side thereof;

each of the armature windings is formed by connecting the top coil and the bottom coil and has 2n phase belts per phase; and

each of the phase belts includes a first parallel winding and a second parallel winding,

wherein the first and second parallel windings are arranged in the stator slots as the top coil and the bottom coil, and

assuming that a circumferential mean position of all top coils and bottom coils included in each of the phase belts is defined as a phase belt center, an arrangement of the first and second parallel windings in at least one phase belt, as viewed in an order of proximity to the phase belt center, is such that the first and second parallel windings are arranged in an order of the second, first, second, first, first, second, first, second, first, second, second, and first parallel windings as the top coils or the bottom coils, and the first and second parallel windings are arranged in an order of the first, second, second, first, second, first, first, second, first, second, second, and first parallel windings as the other bottom coils connected to the abovementioned top coils or the other top coils connected to the abovementioned bottom coils.
