Module winding system for electrical machines and methods of electrical connection

摘要

Winding modules comprising a plurality of windings (26) in a support brace (28) are secured about pole regions of a rotor body with assembly being accomplished in radial directions. Plug-in type electrical connectors oriented parallel to the direction of assembly facilitate both mechanical and electrical connection between the rotor body and the modules with one another. The modules include filler strips (44) having tongue-and-groove or dovetail connections (48) with adjacent pairs of the support elements (30) of the support brace (28).
