Disposed in surrounding relation to the stator yoke is a toroidal coil which includes a groove segment arranged in the open groove, a back segment arranged on a radially outer face of the stator yoke, and axial end faces, with each axial end face having a radial segment to connect the groove segment to the back segment.

The present disclosure generally relates to a rotary electric machine having a stator winding in which bobbins forming a coil are arranged in a circumferential direction. The bobbin includes plate-like flanges on an inner and outer circumferential side. Each flange has edges corresponding to a circumferential and an axial direction. One or more plate-like members form two or more groove portions in a radial direction in parallel with the flanges between the flanges provided on the inner and outer circumferential sides. The coil includes an electric wire wound around the groove portion between the flange and the plate-like member and the groove portion between adjacent plate-like members. As such, the electric wires can be wound in an aligned manner between the plate-like members. Also, slot space factor is improved, coil end is reduced, and output and efficiency of the rotary electric machine is improved.

Provided are an insertion method and an insertion apparatus for efficiently and reliably inserting a plurality of coil elements aligned in a ring shape into respective slots of a stator core. In an insertion method of inserting, the insertion method includes a coil element alignment process S3 of forming an assembly body 50 by assembling the plurality of coil elements 40 in a ring shape in the state where the turn portions 42 alternately overlap each other, a supporting process S42 of supporting the assembly body 50 by using the turn portions 42, and an insertion process S45 of allowing the assembly body 50 and the stator core 60 to be close to each other and inserting the leg portions 41 of the coil elements 40 of the assembly body 50 into the slots 61.

The cold pressure welding apparatus includes a first holding part capable of sandwiching a first flat conductor, a second holding part disposed opposite to the first holding part and capable of sandwiching a second flat conductor, and a drive part for moving the first holding part and the second holding part. The drive part can move the first holding part and the second holding part between a first direction separated position and a close position along a first direction. The drive part can move the first holding part and the second holding part between a second direction separated position and a sandwiching position along a second direction.

The present disclosure relates to a stripping tool, a method to strip a conductor bar, and an arrangement for stripping a conductor bar from a slot of a core of an electric machine. The disclosure provides a device and a method to facilitate the removal of a conductor bar out of a slot of an electric machine. A stripping tool for removing a conductor bar out of a slot of a core of an electric machine is described, with a piston and a support to apply the piston to the core, a rope to be wound around the conductor bar, and a puller suitable to move the rope vertically to the core to pull the conductor bar out of the slot by means of the rope. Also disclosed is a method to strip a conductor bar out of a slot of a core of an electric machine.

A stator of an electrical machine includes a stator core having a plurality of stator teeth and stator slots, and a stator winding having a plurality of stator coils. The width of each stator coil is one stator slot pitch, and the stator teeth are shaped to allow each stator coil to be installed by pushing the stator coil to surround one of the stator teeth. The stator coils include tubular cooling channels for conducting cooling liquid in the stator slots.

According to one embodiment, an armature winding includes a plurality of rectangular solid conductors and a plurality of rectangular hollow conductors, which are arranged such that tip of end portions thereof form one surface, the surface being coated with a brazing filler material, and an anti-flowing agent applied on a portion of an inner surface of each hollow conductor to prevent the brazing filler material from flowing into hollow portions of the hollow conductors.

Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of electrically insulated conductors. In exemplary embodiments, an electrically insulated conductor comprises an electrically conductive core and one or more electrically nonconductive layers. The one or more electrically nonconductive layers include adhered end portions parallel to and/or longitudinally extending at least partially along the length of the electrically conductive core.
