Filed:

May 3, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/099800

Inventors:

Nicholas G. Lang - Cincinnati OH, US
William R. Finley - Cincinnati OH, US

Assignee:

Siemens Industry, Inc. - Alpharetta GA

International Classification:

H02K 1/00

US Classification:

310178, 310180

Abstract:

Machines and motors with multiple three-phase AC power connections. A motor includes first, second, and third windings arranged to drive a rotator shaft. A first end of each winding is connected to a respective power input of a three-phase alternating current (AC) power source and a second end of each winding is connected to a neutral. The motor includes at least one intermediate tap connected to each of the first, second, and third windings at substantially equal respective distances between the neutral and the respective power inputs. The intermediate taps together provide a three-phase AC power output at a voltage that is less than the voltage of the three-phase AC power source.

Inventors:

Yagnesh Kikaganeshwala - Cincinnati OH, US
William Finley - Cincinnati OH, US

Assignee:

Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc. - Alpharetta GA

International Classification:

H02K 15/16

US Classification:

29598

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for correcting slow roll in a rotatable shaft is disclosed. A sensing area of a shaft is heated to a predetermined temperature while rotating the shaft in order to change electrical properties of the sensing area of the shaft. Coolant is applied to non-sensing areas of the shaft adjacent to the sensing area while the sensing area is being heated. The sensing area of the shaft is maintained at the predetermined temperature for a predetermined amount of time, and the sensing area of the shaft is quenched with coolant immediately after the predetermined amount of time in order to cool the sensing area of the shaft to room temperature.

Assignee:

International Classification:

H02K 15/00

US Classification:

29596

Abstract:

A method for manufacturing electrodynamic machine conductive coils, such as alternating current induction motor stator coils. A continuous strand of insulation coated wire is formed into a generally planar elongated closed loop having a circumference and an outer surface. Thereafter a permanent insulation layer is applied to the closed loop outer surface, preferably by spiral wrapping insulating tape about the circumference of the closed loop with a tape wrapping machine. The insulating tape has a catalytic chemical compound including at least one part of a multi-part epoxy resin. The closed loop is shaped into a rigid conductive coil by application pressure, in order to conform the coil to a desired profile. Application of the permanent insulation layer to the closed loop prior to its final shaping enables machine insulation taping over a larger portion of the coil circumference and reduces need for slower and more expensive hand taping.
