ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINE COMPRISING HIGH-VOLTAGE STATOR WINDING AND SPRING-DEVICE SUPPORTING THE WINDING AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH MACHINE

摘要

A rotating electric machine with high-voltage stator winding and spring-device supporting the winding and method for manufacturing the same is employed for high-voltage applications. In particular, the machine includes a stator with a winding that is made of a high-voltage cable that is drawn through a slot in the stator of the rotating electric machine. A spring member biases the high-voltage cable against a wall of the stator so as to avoid damaging an outer surface of the cable during operation of the machine. The outer surface of the cable is susceptible to being damaged because an outer surface of the cable includes a semiconducting material that could possibly be damaged if subject to vibration or abrasion against a slot wall of the slot.
