Winding method for an electrical generator and generator manufactured by the method
First Claim
1. Method for automatically winding stator windings in the slots of a stator of an n phase alternator, comprising the steps ofwinding each of a plurality of partial windings in its entirety in said slots of said stator, each starting at a starting slot immediately adjacent to the starting slot of the last previously wound of said partial windings, each skipping a plurality of slots equal in number to n-1 so that said partial windings mutually overlap and fill said slots with optimum utilization of the space therein, each of said partial windings having a winding start and a winding end;
- andsubsequently interconnecting said winding starts and winding ends electrically in accordance with the placement of each of said partial windings in said slots.

Abstract
A three-phase stator winding of an alternator is divided into six partial windings. Each partial winding, regardless of electrical phase, is wound starting at the slot immediately adjacent to the slot wherein the last previously wound winding was started and in the same winding direction. The first partial windings for the subsequent phases are also inserted in the slots in the same direction as the first partial winding for the first phase, so that connecting arcs are formed on the same side of the stator as was the case for the first phase. The second partial windings for each phase are placed so that the connecting arcs form on the side of the stator opposite to that on which the first connecting arcs were formed. The winding starts and winding ends of each of the partial windings associated with a given phase are connected so that the partial windings are connected either in series or in parallel. The so-formed series or parallel circuits are then connected to form either a Y or a Δ configuration.
