Abstract
The invention provides a stator for a three-phase induction motor including a core having a plurality of slots that receives wire. The stator further includes a first phase winding wound on the stator having first and second wires electrically connected in parallel. The first wire forms a first group of coils having a first pattern and the second wire forms a second group of coils having a second pattern different than the first pattern. The invention further provides a winding method for the stator.
Claims18
A stator for a three-phase induction motor, comprising:
- a core having a plurality of slots that receives wire;
- a first phase winding wound on the stator comprising first and second wires electrically connected in parallel, the first wire forms a first group of coils having a first pattern and the second wire forms a second group of coils having a second pattern different than the first pattern;
- a second phase winding wound on the stator comprising third and fourth wires electrically connected in parallel, the third wire forms a third group of coils having the first pattern and the fourth wire forms a fourth group of coils having the second pattern;
- and
- a third phase winding wound on the stator comprising fifth and sixth wires electrically connected in parallel, the fifth wire forms a fifth group of coils having the first pattern and the sixth wire forms a sixth group of coils having the second pattern.
A stator for a three-phase motor, the stator comprising:
- a core having a plurality of slots that receives wire;
- a first phase winding, a second phase winding, and a third phase winding wound on the core, each phase winding comprising:
- coils forming at least four poles, the number of poles being represented by the number (m) where (m) is an even number,
- whereby the coils forming the poles are divided into two groups, the first group includes the coils forming poles 1 to (m/2) and the second group includes the coils forming poles ((m/2) +1) to (m);
- whereby the coils forming the odd-numbered poles of the first group and the even-numbered poles of the second group are wound in a first direction;
- whereby the coils forming the even-numbered poles of the first group and the odd-numbered poles of the second group are wound in a second direction opposite the first direction.
A three-phase induction motor, comprising:
- a stator, comprising:
- a core comprising a plurality of slots formed in the core that receives wire;
- and
- a first phase winding, a second phase winding, and a third phase winding,
- each phase winding being wound onto the stator and comprising:
- a first and second wire connected in parallel, each wire comprising eight coils forming four numbered poles, each pole has two coils wound in a six/five pitch configuration, and each coil has three turns of wire;
- whereby each winding is wound such that one end of the first wire and one end of the second wire are disposed in the same slot,
- whereby each winding is wound such that the coils forming the first and third poles of the first wire are wound in a first direction, the coils forming the second and fourth poles of the first wire are wound in a second direction, the first and third poles of the second wire are wound in the second direction and the coils forming the second and fourth poles of the second wire are wound in the first direction, and
- whereby the second direction is opposite the first direction.
