First Embodiment

(9) FIG. 2 illustrates a connection method in the case of two phase belts of the rotary electric machine of a first embodiment according to the present invention.

(10) Referring to the drawing, the rotary electric machine (turbine generator 100) of the embodiment includes the two-pole rotor 14, the three-phase armature winding 11, and the core (stator core 12) having fifty-four slots for housing the armature winding 11. The armature winding 11 is stored as a top coil piece 1 and a bottom coil piece 2 in two layers, top and bottom in the slot. One phase of the armature winding 11 has three parallel circuits.

(11) One of the three parallel circuits is disposed in an N-pole, another one is disposed in an S-pole, and a remaining one is disposed across an area between the N-pole and the S-pole. The top coil piece 1 and the bottom coil piece 2 each at a different angle in a circumferential direction are connected with a jumper connection 5.

(12) One of those three parallel circuits includes an inter-polar connection ring 8 for connecting two different poles, and each of the two other circuits has a connection ring 7 constituting the same pole. The armature winding 11 has two phase belts 3, 9 per one phase. Each of the phase belts 3, 9 includes two parallel circuits. When an average circumferential position of all the top coil pieces 1 and the bottom coil pieces 2 for forming the phase belt 3 or 9 is defined as a phase belt center 4 or 10, and the arrangement sequence of the first and second parallel circuits of at least one of the phase belts, that is, the phase belt 3 is viewed from the side closer to the phase belt center 4, the first and second parallel circuits are arranged in the sequence of the first, second, first, first, second, first, first, first, and second parallel circuits in the top coil pieces 1 and in the sequence of the first, second, first, first, second, first, first, first, and second parallel circuits in the bottom coil pieces 2 to be connected to those parallel circuits of the top coil pieces 1.

(13) The structure as described in the embodiment ensures to make the degree of the current imbalance caused by the circulating current between the parallel circuits lower than the current imbalance in the case of the generally employed structure. This makes it possible to provide the rotary electric machine with the armature winding 11 having its loss lessened.
