Dynamoelectric machine e.g. alternating current electric generator, stator, has straight segments that are connected at two ends of stator core by end loop segments, where each loop segment includes radial adjustment

摘要

The stator has a stator winding (86) with straight segments (64, 68) that are disposed in core slots. The segments are alternately connected at two ends of a stator core by end loop segments (42) with two sloped portions (50, 52) to form a winding. The segments are located in a same radial distance from a central axis (17) of the core. Each loop segment includes a radial adjustment to form a cascaded winding pattern. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a method of forming a winding for a dynamoelectric machine stator (b) a dynamoelectric machine.
