Five phase alternating current generator

摘要

An alternating current (AC) generator (20) includes a casing (22) or housing defining an accommodation space (24) therein. A stator assembly (26) is rigidly mounted in the accommodation space (24) in the casing (22) and includes stator slots (42) and a 5-phase winding (46) distributed through and among the stator slots (42). A rotor assembly (28) is rotatably disposed inside the stator assembly (26) and includes a plurality of pairs of opposed pole members (36, 38). Pairs of pole members (36, 38) are configured for energization in opposite magnetic polarity. A plurality of rectifiers (68) rectify output voltages generated by the 5-phase windings (46). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
