Abstract
A rotating electric machine includes an armature that has an armature winding of multiple phases. The armature winding is configured by a conductor being wound. The conductor is configured by a plurality of wires being covered by an insulation coating in a state in which the plurality of wires are bundled. Each of the plurality of wires includes a conductor body configured to permit flow of a current, and a fusion layer that covers a surface of the conductor body. The fusion layer is configured to be thinner than the insulation coating. In the state in which the plurality of wires are bundled, fusion layers of the plurality of wires are fused and in contact with one another.
Claims3
A rotating electric machine comprising:
- an armature that has an armature winding of multiple phases, wherein:
- the armature winding is configured by a conductor being wound;
- the conductor is configured by a plurality of wires covered by an insulation coating in a state in which the plurality of wires are bundled;
- each of the plurality of wires includes
- a conductor body configured to permit flow of a current, and
- a fusion layer that covers a surface of the conductor body,
- a bonding strength between the fusion layer and the insulation coating being weaker than a bonding strength between the conductor body and the fusion layer, and
- a coefficient of linear expansion of the fusion layer being between a coefficient of linear expansion of the conductor body and a coefficient of linear expansion of the insulation coating;
- and
- the fusion layer of each of the plurality of wires is thinner than the insulation coating, and in the state in which the plurality of wires are bundled, fusion layers of the plurality of wires are fused and in contact with one another.
A conductor that configures an armature winding of a rotating electric machine, wherein:
- the conductor is configured by a plurality of wires covered by an insulation coating in a state in which the plurality of wires are bundled;
- each of the plurality of wires includes
- a conductor body configured to permit flow of a current, and
- a fusion layer that covers a surface of the conductor body,
- a bonding strength between the fusion layer and the insulation coating being weaker than a bonding strength between the conductor body and the fusion layer, and
- a coefficient of linear expansion of the fusion layer being between a coefficient of linear expansion of the conductor body and a coefficient of linear expansion of the insulation coating;
- the fusion layer of each of the plurality of wires is thinner than the insulation coating;
- and
- in the state in which the plurality of wires are bundled, fusion layers of the plurality of wires are fused and in contact with one another.
