Patent ID: 8008828

Claim:
An electric rotating machine comprising: a rotor around which a field coil is wound; and a stator including a stator core formed with slots around which an armature winding is wound, wherein: said armature winding includes a first three-phase winding whose phase coils are delta-connected to form a delta winding, and a second three-phase winding whose phase coils are connected to corresponding nodes of said delta winding to form a star winding, each of said phase coils of said first three-phase winding being constituted of a series connection of a first winding and a second winding, said first and second windings being wound around said stator core such that said first and second windings are displaced to each other with respect to said slots of said stator core, each of said phase coils of said second three-phase winding being constituted of a series connection of a third winding and a fourth winding, said third and fourth windings being wound around said stator core such that said third and fourth windings are displaced to each other with respect to said slots of said stator core, said delta winding and said star winding being wound around said stator core such that one of said first and second windings and one of said third and fourth windings share the same slots of said stator core, and the other of said first and second windings and the other of said third and fourth windings share the same slots of said stator core, said delta winding and said star winding being connected to a common rectifier device, each slot of said stator core houses an equal number of said phase coils of said delta winding and said phase coils of said star winding, and said phase coils of said delta winding and said phase coils of said star winding are alternately located in a radial direction of said stator core in each slot of said stator core.
