Abstract
Abstract The laminations of a laminated stator of a slowly running electrical machine having a high number of poles are composed of grain-oriented sheets, each of which has a preferential magnetic direction that extends substantially longitudinally along the teeth of that sheet. This permits the excitation current to be reduced, and, as a result, the air gap of the machine can be enlarged so that, on the whole, approximately the same excitation is required as for a laminated stator in which the laminations consist of normal, non-oriented sheets. As a result, the mechanical stability of the machine is increased. The invention is especially useful in asynchronous tube generators.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
In an electric machine having a stator lamination made up of grain-oriented sheets, each having a plurality of radially directed teeth, the radial direction of the teeth establishing a lengthwise direction, the direction of the grain orientation, in the area of the teeth, extending in the lengthwise direction of the teeth, said machine having a large number of poles, and adapted to run at a slow speed, the improvement comprising, the sheets making up the stator lamination having as their direction of grain orientation, throughout the sheet, a direction essentially corresponding to the lengthwise direction of the teeth and, the air gap in said machine enlarged to the extent that the excitation current requirements for the machine correspond to that of a stator lamination made up of normal, non-oriented sheets, thereby permitting increased mechanical stability in the machine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
