Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a stator for an electric rotating machine, the stator comprising a stator core comprising teeth and slots, and a stator coil comprising a plurality of hairpins configured to be inserted into the slots of the stator core in a predetermined pattern. Each of the plurality of hairpins comprises a conductor and a coating layer surrounding an outer surface of the conductor. The plurality of hairpins comprise a first hairpin configured to be placed in a first section of the stator coil predetermined from an end to which power is to be input, and a second hairpin placed in a section after the first section. The first hairpin provides better insulation performance than the second hairpin, and the first section has a higher voltage distribution ratio than the section including the second hairpin.

Claims (35)

1. A stator for an electric rotating machine, the stator comprising:

a stator core comprising teeth and slots; and

a stator coil comprising a plurality of hairpins configured to be inserted into the slots of the stator core in a predetermined pattern, each of the plurality of hairpins comprising a conductor and a coating layer surrounding an outer surface of the conductor,

wherein the plurality of hairpins comprise a first hairpin configured to be placed in a first section of the stator coil predetermined from an end to which power is to be input, and a second hairpin configured to be placed in a section after the first section,

wherein a coating layer of the first hairpin is thicker than a coating layer of the second hairpin, and the first hairpin provides better insulation performance than the second hairpin, and

wherein a cross-sectional area of a conductor of the first hairpin is the same as a cross-sectional area of a conductor of the second hairpin.

2. The stator of claim 1 , wherein a coating layer of the first hairpin is formed of a material with a lower specific inductive capacity than a material forming a coating layer of the second hairpin, and the first hairpin provides better insulation performance than the second hairpin.

3. The stator of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the slots of the stator core comprises an extension part comprising an extended width configured to accommodate the first hairpin.

4. The stator of claim 3 , wherein the extension part is adjacent to an outer periphery of the stator along a radial direction of the stator core.

5. The stator of claim 1 , wherein the coating layer of the first hairpin is formed of a material with the same specific inductive capacity as a material forming the coating layer of the second hairpin.

6. The stator of claim 1 , wherein:

the stator coil comprises first to n-th coil parts,

each coil part is configured to include two or more hairpins of the plurality of hairpins, and

the first coil part is configured to include the first hairpin.

7. The stator of claim 1 , wherein:

the stator coil comprises first to n-th coil parts,

each coil part is configured to include two or more hairpins of the plurality of hairpins, and

the first coil part and a second coil part connected to the first coil part are respectively configured to include the first hairpin.

8. The stator of claim 1 , wherein:

the stator coil comprises first to n-th coil parts,

each coil part is configured to include two or more hairpins of the plurality of hairpins, and

the first section comprises the first coil part and has a voltage distribution ratio of 60% or higher.

9. The stator of claim 1 , wherein:

the stator coil comprises first to n-th coil parts,

each coil part is configured to include two or more hairpins of the plurality of hairpins, and

the first section comprises the first coil part and a second coil part connected to the first coil part, and has a voltage distribution ratio of 50% or higher.

10. A stator for an electric rotating machine, the stator comprising:

a stator core comprising teeth and slots; and

a stator coil comprising a plurality of hairpins configured to be inserted into the slots in a predetermined pattern, each of the plurality of hairpins comprising a conductor and a coating layer surrounding an outer surface of the conductor,

wherein

the plurality of hairpins comprise a first hairpin configured to be placed in a section of the stator coil predetermined from an end to which power is to be input, and a second hairpin configured to be placed in a section after the first section,

the first hairpin provides better insulation performance than the second hairpin,

a coating layer of the first hairpin is thicker than a coating layer of the second hairpin, and

a cross-sectional area of a conductor of the first hairpin is the same as a cross-sectional area of a conductor of the second hairpin.

11. The stator of claim 10 , wherein the coating layer of the first hairpin is formed of a material with the same specific inductive capacity as a material forming the coating layer of the second hairpin.
