Abstract

Abstract Channels for the circulation of cooling fluid are provided in field windings for rotary electrical machines by superposing conducting strips having edge portions arranged to form the cooling channels. In one form, the channels are formed by laterally offsetting alternate strips or groups of strips. In another form the channels are formed by alternate strips or groups of strips of different width. In still another form, edge portions of strips are of reduced thickness to provide the channels. Gaps between successive coils are kept uniform despite curvature of the rotor by varying the width of the strips.
