Abstract:
The end windings in the stator and rotor are major sources of core-end heating in large electric machines. This invention discloses a Stealth End Winding that makes some of the end-turns within these end windings to be magnetically invisible or stealth in order to reduce the core-end heating. It employs permanent magnets in proximity of these end windings to flip the magnetic field of stealth end-turns, making them to point in a direction away from the core-end. This action reduces the magnetic field that hits the core-end, which in turn reduces core-end heating. A Stealth End Winding can potentially eliminate prevailing devices such as the flux shield, flux shunt, core-end stepping, slit-teeth etc that have been used so far to reduce the core-end heating. Elimination of core-end stepping reduces the field current thereby increase the efficiency and power rating. Elimination of flux shield reduces cost and cooling needs.
