Abstract

A fluid cooled stator winding of a dynamo-electrical machine is comprised of stator bars each composed of a combination of solid and hollow conductor strands. The end portions of the hollow conductor strands protrude beyond the ends of the solid conductor strands of the bar and are grouped together in a conductor bundle on which is cast a body of synthetic resin that forms a nipple for connection of a hose to the bundle of hollow conductor strands for circulation of the fluid coolant.

Claims

1. In a dynamo-electrical machine of the type wherein the stator winding thereof is comprised of stator bars composed of a combination of solid and hollow strands through which a fluid coolant is circulated and wherein the end portions of the hollow conductor strands of each bar protrude beyond the ends of the solid conductor strands thereof, the improvement wherein said protruding end portions of the hollow conductor strands are grouped together in a conductor bundle and which latter is encased in a cast-on body of synthetic resin that serves as an electrically insulating nipple for connection of the bundle of hollow conductor strands to fluid conduction means for circulation of the fluid coolant.

2. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein the ends of the hollow conductor strands project beyond the end of said cast-on resin body to prevent the resin from entering the ends of the hollow strands.

3. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein the exterior surface of said cast-on resin body is provided with a series of transverse grooves engaging the interior surface of a hose which serves as said fluid conduction means.

4. The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein the end portions of the hollow conductor strands extend parallel to each other to establish the bundle and are secured together.
