Abstract:
Nicking of the conductors (30) of the end turns (20) in the stator (10, 12, 14) of a dynamoelectric machine during the installation of a temperature sensor (26) is avoided by locating the temperature sensor (26) in a gap (22) between the coils defining adjacent end turns (20), thereby providing a machine capable of rapidly responding to excess heat even in a locked rotor situation before detectable levels of smoke, gas, and odors are generated.
Abstract:
Long thermal paths and the resulting slow response times in sealed and electrically insulated thermal sensors may be substantially reduced by insulating and sealing the sensor (26) by a method which includes the steps of providing (30) an electrostatic fluidized bed of electrically insulating resin; locating (34) the sensor (26) at the bed; coating (36) the sensor (26); removing (38) the sensor from proximity to the bed; and curing (40) to the resin to form a uniform, thin coating encapsulating the sensor (26).
Abstract:
A rotor assembly for a rotary electric machine including a magnetic shaft (10) provided with at least one pair of equally angularly spaced flats (14, 16). Non-magnetic spacers (18, 20) abut the flats (14, 16) and a plurality of generally arcuate permanent magnet segments (26) are disposed about the shaft between the spacers (18, 20). A plurality of magnetic pole pieces (36) are disposed radially outwardly of a corresponding one of the magnet (26) and are disposed between adjacent spacers (18, 20). Generally C-shaped channels (50) of non-magnetic material overlie the spacers (18, 20) and interconnect adjacent ends (49) of adjacent pole pieces (36) to hold the components of the rotor in assembled relation.

Abstract:
Assemblage de rotor pour une machine électrique rotative comprenant un arbre magnétique (10) pourvu d'au moins une paire de parties plates (14, 16) écartées de la même distance angulaire. Des écarteurs non magnétiques (18, 20) sont en appui sur les parties plates (14, 16) et une pluralité de segments magnétiques permanents généralement arqués (26) sont disposés autour de l'arbre entre les écarteurs (18, 20). Une pluralité de pièces polaires magnétiques (36) sont disposées radialement vers l'extérieur d'un aimant correspondant (26) et entre des écarteurs adjacents (18, 20). Des canaux généralement en C (50) en matériau non magnétique sont aménagés au-dessus des écarteurs (18, 20) et relient les extrémités adjacentes (49) de pièces polaires adjacentes (36) pour maintenir assemblés les composants du rotor.
