Abstract:
1. An alternator, comprising: a rotor; a stator comprising a cylindrical body with a plurality of phases, wherein each of the plurality of phases comprises: conducting elements crossing the cylindrical body and forming at two axially opposite sides of the body, respectively, a first chignon and a second chignon, wherein the conducting elements are electrically connected to form at least one winding connecting the phase input to the phase output; wherein the second segments of the phase inputs are located on a same axial side of the cylindrical body and are electrically connected to form a neutral point; and wherein each phase input is twisted, with the longitudinal surface extending along the first segment in a generally radial plane and extending along the second segment forming one of a plane tangential to a cylindrical portion coaxial to the cylindrical body and a cylindrical portion coaxial to the cylindrical body.
