Abstract

A primary-sided arrangement of primary winding structures of a system, wherein the primary-sided arrangement includes at least three phase lines and at least one winding structure per phase line, wherein each winding structure includes at least one subwinding structure, wherein the winding structures extend along a longitudinal axis of the primary-sided arrangement, wherein a pitch between corresponding subwinding structures of a first winding structure and a second winding structure is chosen from an interval of a length of one subwinding structure, and wherein a pitch between corresponding subwinding structures of the first winding structure and the third winding structure is smaller than the pitch between corresponding first and second subwinding structures.

Claims (29)

1. A secondary-sided arrangement of at least one secondary winding structure, comprising:

at least one phase line; and

one secondary winding structure per phase line;

wherein the secondary-sided arrangement further comprises:

two or more subwinding structures, wherein the two or more subwinding structures include a first subwinding structure and a second subwinding structure;

an arrangement of magnetically conducting elements, wherein the arrangement of magnetically conducting elements comprises multiple rows of more than one magnetically conducting elements, wherein the magnetically conducting elements of one row provide a recess to receive at least a section of a secondary winding structure, wherein the recess is provided between a first and a second lower magnetically conducting element of the row, wherein a first end section of an upper magnetically conducting element of the row overlaps an end section of the first lower magnetically conducting element and another end section of the upper magnetically conducting element overlaps an end section of the second lower magnetically conducting element; and

wherein the first lower magnetically conducting element extends into an inner volume of the first subwinding structure and the second lower magnetically conducting element extends into an inner volume of the second subwinding structure, wherein the secondary winding structure is substantially arranged within a two-dimensional plane.

2. The secondary-sided arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the arrangement of magnetically conducting elements comprises multiple bar elements.

3. The secondary-sided arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the arrangement of magnetically conducting elements comprises multiple rows of at least one magnetically conducting element, wherein a non-zero gap between two adjacent rows is provided along the lateral direction.

4. The secondary-sided arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the at least one magnetically conducting element or the arrangement of magnetically conducting elements provides a recess to receive at least a section of the secondary winding structure.

5. The secondary-sided arrangement of claim 1 , wherein magnetically conducting elements of an arrangement of multiple magnetically conducting elements are arranged in a row, wherein at least two successive magnetically conducting elements are aligned with a lateral offset to one another.

6. A secondary-sided arrangement of at least one secondary winding structure, comprising:

at least one phase line; and

one secondary winding structure per phase line;

wherein the secondary-sided arrangement comprises at least one magnetically conducting element or an arrangement of magnetically conducting elements;

wherein at least one section of the at least one magnetically conducting element extends into the secondary winding structure or at least one subwinding structure of the secondary winding structure; and

wherein magnetically conducting elements of the arrangement of multiple magnetically conducting elements are arranged in a row, wherein at least two successive magnetically conducting elements are aligned with a lateral offset to one another.

7. The secondary-sided arrangement of claim 6 , wherein the arrangement of magnetically conducting elements comprises multiple bar elements.

8. The secondary-sided arrangement of claim 6 , wherein the arrangement of magnetically conducting elements comprises multiple rows of at least one magnetically conducting element, wherein a non-zero gap between two adjacent rows is provided along the lateral direction.

9. The secondary-sided arrangement of claim 6 , wherein the at least one magnetically conducting element or an arrangement of magnetically conducting elements provides a recess to receive at least a section of the secondary winding structure.

10. A secondary-sided arrangement, comprising:

at least one phase line;

one secondary winding structure per phase line; and

at least one magnetically conducting element or an arrangement of magnetically conducting elements;

wherein at least one section of the at least one magnetically conducting element extends into the secondary winding structure or at least one subwinding structure of the secondary winding structure;

wherein magnetically conducting elements of the arrangement of multiple magnetically conducting elements are arranged in a row, wherein at least two successive magnetically conducting elements are aligned with a lateral offset to one another.

11. The secondary-sided arrangement of claim 10 , wherein the arrangement of magnetically conducting elements comprises multiple bar elements.

12. The secondary-sided arrangement of claim 10 , wherein the arrangement of magnetically conducting elements comprises multiple rows of at least one magnetically conducting element, wherein a non-zero gap between two adjacent rows is provided along the lateral direction.

13. The secondary-sided arrangement of claim 10 , wherein the at least one magnetically conducting element or the arrangement of magnetically conducting elements provides a recess to receive at least a section of a secondary winding structure.
