WINDING CONSTRUCTION FOR AN ELECTRIC MACHINE, COMPRISING A HEAT EXCHANGE MEMBER

摘要

A winding construction for an electric machine comprises: a winding comprising a plurality of turns of an electrical conductor; and a heat-conduction member, having a first portion formed of a sheet material, said first portion being inside the winding. The heat- exchange portion extends into a coolant flow path. The heat-exchange portion is shaped to direct the flow of the coolant in the coolant flow path in a manner that the flow is distributed more uniformly around the winding constructions than if the heat-exchange portion were not present.
