Abstract

An object is to provide a stator coil having a corner portion with less start points for partial discharge while reducing loss. A stator coil having a conductor bar includes, at a corner portion thereof: a first insulating layer covering an outer periphery of the conductor bar; an electric conductor having one end electrically connected to the conductor bar on a distal end side of the corner portion, and another end placed on an outer surface of the first insulating layer; a first conductive layer covering an outer periphery of the first insulating layer and the electric conductor located on the outer surface of the first insulating layer; a second insulating layer covering an outer periphery of the first conductive layer; and a second conductive layer covering an outer periphery of the second insulating layer.

Claims (29)

1. A stator coil having a conductor bar, the stator coil comprising, at a corner portion thereof:

a first insulating layer covering an outer periphery of the conductor bar;

an electric conductor having one distal end electrically connected to the conductor bar on a distal end side of the corner portion, and another distal end placed on an outer surface of the first insulating layer;

a first conductive layer covering an outer periphery of the first insulating layer and the electric conductor located on the outer surface of the first insulating layer;

a second insulating layer covering an outer periphery of the first conductive layer; and

a second conductive layer covering an outer periphery of the second insulating layer,

wherein the first conductive layer does not form a helical current path.

2. The stator coil according to claim 1 , wherein

a surface resistivity of the first conductive layer and a surface resistivity of the second conductive layer are in a range of 10 2 Ω/□ to 10 5 Ω/□.

3. The stator coil according to claim 1 , wherein

the electric conductor is a metal tape having an adhesive layer.

4. The stator coil according to claim 1 , wherein

the conductor bar is formed by bundling strands each having a rectangular sectional shape, and

the electric conductor is connected to only one of the strands.

5. The stator coil according to claim 4 , wherein

a width of the electric conductor is not greater than widths of the strands.

6. A stator comprising:

an annular stator core having slots arranged in a circumferential shape; and

the stator coil according to claim 1 , inserted into the slots.

7. A rotating electrical machine comprising:

the stator according to claim 6 ; and

a rotor provided rotatably relative to the stator, on an inner circumferential side of the stator.

8. A manufacturing method for a stator coil, comprising the steps of:

covering an outer periphery of a conductor bar by a first insulating layer;

electrically connecting one distal end of an electric conductor to the conductor bar, on a distal end side of a corner portion of the conductor bar, and placing another distal end of the electric conductor on an outer surface of the first insulating layer;

covering an outer periphery of the first insulating layer and the electric conductor located on the outer surface of the first insulating layer, by a first conductive layer;

covering an outer periphery of the first conductive layer by a second insulating layer; and

covering an outer periphery of the second insulating layer by a second conductive layer,

wherein the first conductive layer does not form a helical current path.
