## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is a Continuation Application of PCT Application No. PCT/JP2010/056558, filed Apr. 13, 2010 and based upon and claiming the benefit of priority from prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-096634, filed Apr. 13, 2009, the entire contents of all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD
Embodiments described herein relate generally to an armature winding having six parallel circuits applied to a 3-phase 2-pole 72-slot rotating electrical machine.
BACKGROUND
In a large-capacity rotating electrical machine, an armature winding is provided with upper and lower coil pieces arranged in two layers in slots provided in a laminated iron core, and the parallel circuits are connected in series, thereby increasing generated voltage and machine capacity. However, as a voltage of an armature winding is increased, the thickness of the main insulation of an armature winding is increased to withstand such higher voltage. As a result, a cross-sectional area of a conducting portion is decreased, a current density is increased, and a loss is increased.
Particularly, in a machine using an indirect cooling system, as the thickness of a main insulating layer increases, a thermal resistance increases, and a temperature increases in an armature winding. Therefore, an armature winding is divided into multiple parallel circuits, thereby decreasing the armature winding voltage and main insulation thickness, reducing the loss, and increasing the cooling capacity, while maintaining the machine capacity. Further, in an indirect-cooling large-capacity machine, it is common to increase the number of slots in an armature core to increase a cooling cycle of an armature winding. Therefore, an armature winding having three or more parallel circuits is required.
If an armature winding having three or more parallel circuits is applied to a 2-pole machine, the voltages generated by the parallel circuits are not completely equated, a circulation current is generated between the parallel circuits, and an armature winding loss is increased.
To decrease the loss by the circulation current, it is necessary to minimize the imbalance of the voltages generated by the parallel circuits. For this purpose, special consideration is required to placement of coils belonging to each parallel circuit in each phase belt.
An example of improvement in placement of coils is explained with reference to a developed perspective view showing one phase of an armature winding shown in FIG. 30.
FIG. 30 shows an example of an armature winding having four parallel circuits applicable to a 3-phase 2-pole 72-slot rotating electrical machine, based on the U.S. Pat. No. 2,778,962 (hereinafter, US patent of Hamilton D. Taylor).
FIG. 30 shows only one phase. For the other two phases, it is obvious that the configuration of the shown phase of an armature winding is shifted by 120° and 240°.
In this patent, when parallel circuits are indicated by numbers 1 to 4, parallel circuits of twelve upper coil piece 15a and lower coil piece 16a of a first phase belt 17 are numbered 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1 sequentially from the center of a pole. Similarly, parallel circuits of upper coil piece 15b and lower coil piece 16b of a second phase belt 18 are numbered 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 3 sequentially from the center of a pole. This decreases a deviation of voltage (an absolute value of a deviation from an average phase voltage) and a deviation of phase (a deviation of phase angle from an average phase voltage) of each parallel circuit.
To realize the above connection, in FIG. 30, fourteen jumper wires 20a per phase are provided at the connection side coil end 19a. 
As for the voltage and phase angle deviations of each parallel circuit, the U.S. Pat. No. 2,778,963 (hereinafter, US patent of Rudolph Habermann Jr.) is known.
In this patent, a voltage deviation of each parallel circuit is rated at 0.4% or lower, and a phase angle deviation is rated at 0.15° or lower. Compared with the voltage deviation of 0.12% and phase angle deviation of 0° in the US patent of Hamilton D. Taylor, the values are highly balanced, and sufficiently efficient to decrease a circulation current.
The connection method in the US patent of Hamilton D. Taylor provides an armature winding having four parallel circuits applicable to a 3-phase 2-pole 72-slot rotating electrical machine. In an indirect-cooling large-capacity rotating electrical machine, an armature winding having more parallel circuits is required.
The invention has been made considering the above circumstances. The invention may provide an armature winding having six parallel circuits applied to a large-capacity 3-phase 2-pole 72-slot rotating electrical machine.

Embodiment 1
FIG. 1 is a developed perspective view showing a phase of an armature winding in a first embodiment the invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, an armature 11 of a rotating electrical machine is provided with seventy-two slots 13 in an armature core 12 comprising a laminated iron core, and a 2-pole 3-phase 6-parallel-circuit armature winding is housed in the slots 13 in two layers.
An armature winding of each phase has an upper coil piece 15 housed in the upper part of the slot, and a lower coil piece 16 housed in the lower part of the slot. The ends of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are connected in series at a connection side coil end 19a connected to a lead-out portion of the winding, and at a non-connection side coil end 19b located axially opposite to the connection side coil end and not connected to a lead-out portion of the winding.
Further, the armature winding has a first phase belt 17 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in twelve slots 13 provided in the armature core 12, and a second phase belt 18 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in the twelve slots 13.
The first and second phase belts mentioned here means winding portions, which are obtained by dividing each of three phases into two and assigned, and form the same phase by housing the upper and lower coils in two layers in the seventy-two slots provided in the laminated core (armature core), and sequentially connecting them in series.
The armature winding of each phase has six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are given numbers {circle around (1)}, {circle around (2)}, {circle around (3)}, {circle around (4)}, {circle around (5)} and {circle around (6)} for identification in the drawing. The circuit numbers are assigned to identify the parallel circuits for convenience of explanation, and may be indicated by any symbol in any order.
In each phase belt 17 and 18, the upper coil piece 15 is connected to the corresponding lower coil piece 16 apart by a fixed pitch, at the connection side coil end 19a and non-connection side coil end 19b, thereby forming six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are connected in parallel through the lead-out connection conductor 21 provided at the connection side coil end 19a, thereby forming the armature winding.
FIG. 1 shows an example in which a coil pitch is a small value of 2⁄3. This is for the purpose of making the drawing easy to comprehend. The pitch is not limited to this value.
As shown in FIG. 1, eight jumper wires 20a per phase are provided at the connection side coil end 19a of each phase 17 and 18. The circuits of the upper coil piece 15 of the first phase belt 17 are numbered 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1 sequentially from the pole center Pa side, and the circuits of the lower coil piece 16 are numbered 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3 sequentially from the pole center Pa side. The circuits of the upper coil piece 15 of the second phase belt 18 are numbered 6, 5, 4, 4, 5, 6, 4, 5, 6, 6, 5, 4 sequentially from the pole center Pb side, and the circuits of the lower coil piece 16 are numbered 4, 5, 6, 6, 5, 4, 6, 5, 4, 4, 5, 6 sequentially from the pole center Pb side.
Therefore, when the relative positions of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 in each phase belt are indicated by positions from the center of a pole, the upper and lower coil pieces of each parallel circuit are placed as shown in Table 1.

As shown in Table 1, four upper coil pieces 15 of the first and fourth parallel circuits are placed at 3rd, 4th, 7th and 12th positions from the pole center, and four lower coil pieces 16 of the first and fourth parallel circuits are placed at 1st, 6th, 9th and 10th positions from the pole center. Four upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of the second and fifth parallel circuits are placed at 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th positions from the pole center. Four upper coil pieces 15 of the third and sixth parallel circuits are placed at 1st, 6th, 9th, and 10th positions from the pole center, and four lower coil pieces 16 of the third and sixth parallel circuits are placed at 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 12th positions from the pole center.
Next, the imbalance of the voltages generated in one phase is explained. Here, the following definition is generally adopted as a means for numerically evaluating the imbalance. The voltage expressed by p.u. of only one circuit of multiple parallel circuits in one phase is a ratio of the open voltage of that parallel circuit to an average voltage (phase voltage) as a whole phase, and indicates the degree of imbalance of the voltages of that parallel circuit and whole phase. Similarly, a phase angle deviation of an open voltage generated in one parallel circuit from a phase voltage indicates the degree of imbalance of the phase angles of the voltages of that parallel circuit and whole phase.
Table 2 shows the balance of the voltage generated in an armature winding in the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, this balance does not vary with a coil pitch. As shown in Table 2, in the armature winding in the first embodiment, a voltage deviation (a deviation of a p.u. voltage from 1.0) is 0.25% maximum, and a phase angle deviation is 0.17°. Compared with the standard in the US patent of Rudolph Habermann Jr., 0.4% in voltage deviation and 0.15° in phase angle, the phase angle deviation is a little higher, but the voltage deviation is small, and the balance is high as a whole.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the balance equivalent to the standard in the US patent of Rudolph Habermann Jr. is realized for the voltages of parallel circuits, and a circulation current can be decreased.
In the first embodiment, the total number of jumper wires 20a is 80 per a phase, which is decreased from 14 per phase in one phase of the armature winding shown in FIG. 30. Therefore, the distance between the jumper wires 20a is increased, and the workability for connecting jumper wires 20a is improved, the insulation quality and fixing strength at each connecting point are ensured, and the reliability of the armature winding is increased.
The embodiment is not limited to the illustrated configuration. The lead-out positions may be different. For example, the coil pieces located at electrically equivalent positions in the parallel circuits 1 and 4 may be replaced.
Embodiment 2
FIG. 2 is a developed perspective view showing one phase of an armature winding of a rotating electrical machine in a second embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 2, an armature 11 of a rotating electrical machine is provided with seventy-two slots 13 in an armature core 12 comprising a laminated iron core. In the slots 13, a 2-pole 3-phase 6-parallel-circuit armature winding is housed in two layers.
An armature winding of each phase has an upper coil piece 15 housed in the upper part of the slot, and a lower coil piece 16 housed in the lower part of the slot. The ends of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are connected in series at a connection side coil end 19a connected to a lead-out portion of the winding, and at a non-connection side coil end 19b located axially opposite to the connection side coil end and not connected to a lead-out portion of the winding.
Further, the armature winding has a first phase belt 17 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in twelve slots 13 provided in the armature core 12, and a second phase belt 18 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in the twelve slots 13.
The armature winding of each phase has six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are given numbers {circle around (1)}, {circle around (2)}, {circle around (3)}, {circle around (4)}, {circle around (5)} and {circle around (6)} for identification in the drawing.
In each phase belt 17 and 18, the upper coil piece 15 is connected to the corresponding lower coil piece 16 apart by a fixed pitch, at the connection side coil end 19a and non-connection side coil end 19b, thereby forming six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are connected in parallel through the lead-out connection conductor 21 provided at the connection side coil end 19a, thereby forming the armature winding.
As shown in FIG. 2, four jumper wires 20a per a phase are provided at the connection side coil end 19a of each phase 17 and 18, and fourteen jumper wires 20b per phase belt are provided at the non-connection side coil end 19b. When the relative positions of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 in each phase belt are indicated by positions from the pole center, the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of each parallel circuit are placed as shown in Table 3.

The embodiment is not limited to the illustrated configuration. The lead-out positions may be different. For example, the coil pieces located at electrically equivalent positions in the parallel circuits 1 and 4 may be replaced.
Embodiment 4
FIG. 4 is a developed perspective view showing one phase of an armature winding of a rotating electrical machine in a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 4, an armature 11 of a rotating electrical machine is provided with seventy-two slots 13 in an armature core 12 comprising a laminated iron core. In the slots 13, a 2-pole 3-phase 6-parallel-circuit armature winding is housed in two layers.
An armature winding of each phase has an upper coil piece 15 housed in the upper part of the slot, and a lower coil piece 16 housed in the lower part of the slot. The ends of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are connected in series at a connection side coil end 19a connected to a lead-out portion of the winding, and at a non-connection side coil end 19b located axially opposite to the connection side coil end and not connected to a lead-out portion of the winding.
Further, the armature winding has a first phase belt 17 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in twelve slots 13 provided in the armature core 12, and a second phase belt 18 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in the twelve slots 13.
The armature winding of each phase has six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are given numbers {circle around (1)}, {circle around (2)}, {circle around (3)}, {circle around (4)}, {circle around (5)} and {circle around (6)} for identification in the drawing.
In each phase belt 17 and 18, the upper coil piece 15 is connected to the corresponding lower coil piece 16 apart by a fixed pitch, at the connection side coil end 19a and non-connection side coil end 19b, thereby forming six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are connected in parallel through the lead-out connection conductor 21 provided at the connection side coil end 19a, thereby forming the armature winding.
In FIG. 4, eight jumper wires 20a per phase are provided at the connection side coil end 19a of each phase 17 and 18, and eight jumper wires 20b per phase belt are provided at the non-connection side coil end 19b. When the relative positions of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 in each phase belt are indicated by positions from the pole center, the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of each parallel circuit are placed as shown in Table 9.

As shown in Table 9, four upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of the first and fourth parallel circuits are placed at 3rd, 4th, 11th, and 12th positions from the pole center. Four upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of the second and fifth parallel circuits are placed at 1st, 6th, 9th, and 10th positions from the pole center. Four upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of the third and sixth parallel circuits are placed at 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 8th positions from the pole center.
Therefore, the circuits of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 in the first phase belt 17 are numbered 2, 3, 1, 1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1 sequentially from the pole center side.

As shown in Table 21, four upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of the first and fourth parallel circuits are placed at 2nd, 5th, 9th, and 12th positions from the pole center. Four upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of the second and fifth parallel circuits are placed at 1st, 7th, 8th, and 11th positions from the pole center. Four upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of the third and sixth parallel circuits are placed at 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 10th positions from the pole center.
Therefore, the circuits of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 in the first phase belt 17 are numbered 2, 1, 3, 3, 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1 sequentially from the pole center side.

As shown in FIG. 9, an armature 11 of a rotating electrical machine is provided with seventy-two slots 13 in an armature core 12 comprising a laminated iron core. In the slots 13, a 2-pole 3-phase 6-parallel-circuit armature winding is housed in two layers.
An armature winding of each phase has an upper coil piece 15 housed in the upper part of the slot, and a lower coil piece 16 housed in the lower part of the slot. The ends of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are connected in series at a connection side coil end 19a connected to a lead-out portion of the winding, and at a non-connection side coil end 19b located axially opposite to the connection side coil end and not connected to a lead-out portion of the winding.
Further, the armature winding has a first phase belt 17 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in twelve slots 13 provided in the armature core 12, and a second phase belt 18 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in the twelve slots 13.
The armature winding of each phase has six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are given numbers {circle around (1)}, {circle around (2)}, {circle around (3)}, {circle around (4)}, {circle around (5)} and {circle around (6)} for identification in the drawing.
In each phase belt 17 and 18, the upper coil piece 15 is connected to the corresponding lower coil piece 16 apart by a fixed pitch, at the connection side coil end 19a and non-connection side coil end 19b, thereby forming six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are connected in parallel through the lead-out connection conductor 21 provided at the connection side coil end 19a, thereby forming the armature winding.
In FIG. 9, four jumper wires 20a per phase are provided at the connection side coil end 19a of each phase 17 and 18, and sixteen jumper wires 20b per phase belt are provided at the non-connection side coil end 19b.

Embodiment 13
FIG. 13 is a developed perspective view showing one phase of an armature winding of a rotating electrical machine in a thirteenth embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 13, an armature 11 of a rotating electrical machine is provided with seventy-two slots 13 in an armature core 12 comprising a laminated iron core. In the slots 13, a 2-pole 3-phase 6-parallel-circuit armature winding is housed in two layers.
An armature winding of each phase has an upper coil piece 15 housed in the upper part of the slot, and a lower coil piece 16 housed in the lower part of the slot. The ends of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are connected in series at a connection side coil end 19a connected to a lead-out portion of the winding, and at a non-connection side coil end 19b located axially opposite to the connection side coil end and not connected to a lead-out portion of the winding.
Further, the armature winding has a first phase belt 17 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in twelve slots 13 provided in the armature core 12, and a second phase belt 18 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in the twelve slots 13.
The armature winding of each phase has six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are given numbers {circle around (1)}, {circle around (2)}, {circle around (3)}, {circle around (4)}, {circle around (5)} and {circle around (6)} for identification in the drawing.
In each phase belt 17 and 18, the upper coil piece 15 is connected to the corresponding lower coil piece 16 apart by a fixed pitch, at the connection side coil end 19a and non-connection side coil end 19b, thereby forming six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are connected in parallel through the lead-out connection conductor 21 provided at the connection side coil end 19a, thereby forming the armature winding.
In FIG. 13, four jumper wires 20a per phase are provided at the connection side coil end 19a of each phase 17 and 18, and twenty jumper wires 20b per phase belt are provided at the non-connection side coil end 19b.

Further, the armature winding has a first phase belt 17 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in twelve slots 13 provided in the armature core 12, and a second phase belt 18 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in the twelve slots 13.
The armature winding of each phase has six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are given numbers {circle around (1)}, {circle around (2)}, {circle around (3)}, {circle around (4)}, {circle around (5)} and {circle around (6)} for identification in the drawing.
In each phase belt 17 and 18, the upper coil piece 15 is connected to the corresponding lower coil piece 16 apart by a fixed pitch, at the connection side coil end 19a and non-connection side coil end 19b, thereby forming six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are connected in parallel through the lead-out connection conductor 21 provided at the connection side coil end 19a, thereby forming the armature winding.
In FIG. 17, six jumper wires 20a per phase are provided at the connection side coil end 19a of each phase 17 and 18, and sixteen jumper wires 20b per phase belt are provided at the non-connection side coil end 19b. When the relative positions of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 in each phase belt are indicated by positions from the pole center, the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of each parallel circuit are placed as shown in Table 48.

Embodiment 22
FIG. 22 is a developed perspective view showing one phase of an armature winding of a rotating electrical machine in a twenty-second embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 22, an armature 11 of a rotating electrical machine is provided with seventy-two slots 13 in an armature core 12 comprising a laminated iron core. In the slots 13, a 2-pole 3-phase 6-parallel-circuit armature winding is housed in two layers.
An armature winding of each phase has an upper coil piece 15 housed in the upper part of the slot, and a lower coil piece 16 housed in the lower part of the slot. The ends of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are connected in series at a connection side coil end 19a connected to a lead-out portion of the winding, and at a non-connection side coil end 19b located axially opposite to the connection side coil end and not connected to a lead-out portion of the winding.
Further, the armature winding has a first phase belt 17 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in twelve slots 13 provided in the armature core 12, and a second phase belt 18 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in the twelve slots 13.
The armature winding of each phase has six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are given numbers {circle around (1)}, {circle around (2)}, {circle around (3)}, {circle around (4)}, {circle around (5)} and {circle around (6)} for identification in the drawing.
In each phase belt 17 and 18, the upper coil piece 15 is connected to the corresponding lower coil piece 16 apart by a fixed pitch, at the connection side coil end 19a and non-connection side coil end 19b, thereby forming six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are connected in parallel through the lead-out connection conductor 21 provided at the connection side coil end 19a, thereby forming the armature winding.
In FIG. 22, six jumper wires 20a per phase are provided at the connection side coil end 19a of each phase 17 and 18, and fourteen jumper wires 20b per phase belt are provided at the non-connection side coil end 19b.

Embodiment 26
FIG. 26 is a developed perspective view showing one phase of an armature winding of a rotating electrical machine in a twenty-sixth embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 26, an armature 11 of a rotating electrical machine is provided with seventy-two slots 13 in an armature core 12 comprising a laminated iron core. In the slots 13, a 2-pole 3-phase 6-parallel-circuit armature winding is housed in two layers.
An armature winding of each phase has an upper coil piece 15 housed in the upper part of the slot, and a lower coil piece 16 housed in the lower part of the slot. The ends of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are connected in series at a connection side coil end 19a connected to a lead-out portion of the winding, and at a non-connection side coil end 19b located axially opposite to the connection side coil end and not connected to a lead-out portion of the winding.
Further, the armature winding has a first phase belt 17 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in twelve slots 13 provided in the armature core 12, and a second phase belt 18 in which the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 are housed in the twelve slots 13.
The armature winding of each phase has six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are given numbers {circle around (1)}, {circle around (2)}, {circle around (3)}, {circle around (4)}, {circle around (5)} and {circle around (6)} for identification in the drawing.
In each phase belt 17 and 18, the upper coil piece 15 is connected to the corresponding lower coil piece 16 apart by a fixed pitch, at the connection side coil end 19a and non-connection side coil end 19b, thereby forming six parallel circuits. The parallel circuits are connected in parallel through the lead-out connection conductor 21 provided at the connection side coil end 19a, thereby forming the armature winding.
In FIG. 26, four jumper wires 20a per phase are provided at the connection side coil end 19a of each phase 17 and 18, and fourteen jumper wires 20b per phase belt are provided at the non-connection side coil end 19b. When the relative positions of the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 in each phase belt are indicated by positions from the pole center, the upper and lower coil pieces 15 and 16 of each parallel circuit are placed as shown in Table 75.
