Cable forerunner
First Claim
1. A procedure for winding a high-voltage cable in an electric machine, comprising the steps of attaching one end of a cable forerunner to the end of the cable;
- drawing the cable forerunner and the attached cable through a first slot in the machine body; and
controlling the forerunner to a predefined radius of curvature so that the cable has a predefined curvature between its exit from the slot until its entry into a second slot in the machine body.

Abstract
A cable forerunner for winding a high-voltage cable in an electric machine, wherein one end of the cable forerunner (11) is attached to the end (10) of the cable (1), the cable forerunner (11) is arranged to draw the cable (1) through a first slot (15) arranged in the machine body (8) and also to control the curvature of the cable (1) at its exit from the slot (15) unitl its entry into a second slot (16) arranged in the machine body (8), as well as a procedure and also an electric machine having at least one winding comprising a high-voltage cable wound in accordance with the procedure for winding a high-voltage cable (1) in an electric machine, wherein one end of the cable forerunner (11) is attached to the end of the cable (1), whereafter the cable forerunner (11) is caused to draw the cable (1) through a first slot (15) arranged in the machine body (8) and to control the curvature of the cable (1) at its exit from the slot until its entry into a second slot (16) arranged in the machine body (8).
