Rotating electrical machine having high-voltage stator winding and elongated support devices supporting the winding and method for manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. A rotating electric machine configured to operate at high-voltages comprising:
- a stator having, a first slot, a second slot, and a third slot;
a stator winding of a high-voltage cable drawn though said first slot, said second slot, and said third slot of said stator, said high-voltage cable having an insulation system including a first semiconducting layer, a solid insulation layer arranged to surround and be in electrical contact with said first semiconducting layer, and a second semiconducting layer arranged to surround and be in contact with said solid insulation layer, said second semiconductor layer being formed from an extruded material that is configured to protect said stator winding from being damaged when drawn through said first slot, said second slot, and said third slot; and
a support member positioned in contact with said stator winding, wherein said first semiconducting layer and said second semiconducting layer are configured to provide respective equipotential surfaces.

Abstract
A rotating electrical machine and method for making the machine, where the machine includes a high-voltage stator winding and elongated support devices for supporting the winding. The machine and method employ an arrangement of cable that is made of inner conductive strands, covered with a first semiconducting layer, which is covered with an insulating layer, which is covered with a second semiconducting layer. The cable is wound in slots in the stator such that separate cable lead-throughs are positioned in specific arrangements with respect to each other and in slots of the stator. The arrangement of the cable in the stator protects the integrity of the respective components in the cable and particularly the second semiconducting layer.
