Abstract
Abstract A synchronous dynamoelectric machine having a salient pole rotor with a damper winding including bars of magnetic material such as steel. In order to minimize losses and heating in the stator winding end regions due to radial leakage flux, the end portions of the damper bars and the short-circuiting end rings, and preferably also the pole end plates, are made of non-magnetic material.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A dynamoelectric machine having a stator member and a rotor member, said stator member having a magnetic core and a stator winding disposed in slots in the core, said winding having end turn portions extending beyond the core, said rotor member including a plurality of salient pole members having pole faces, a damper winding on the rotor member, said damper winding including damper bars in said pole faces and end portions extending beyond the pole members under said stator winding end turn portions, the central portion of said damper bars in the pole faces being solid bars made solely of magnetic material and the end portions of the damper winding comprising solid members made solely of non-magnetic material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A dynamoelectric machine having a stator member and a rotor member, said stator member having a magnetic core and a stator winding disposed in slots in the core, said winding having end turn portions extending beyond the core, said rotor member including a plurality of salient pole members having pole faces, a damper winding on the rotor member, said damper winding including damper bars in said pole faces and end portions extending beyond the pole members under said stator winding end turn portions, the central portion of said damper bars in the pole faces being solid bars made solely of magnetic material and the end portions of the damper winding comprising solid members made solely of non-magnetic material.
