COMMUTATOR GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering; inductor machines incorporating provision for magnetic field commutation. SUBSTANCE: proposed commutator generator manufactured by wasteless technology that can be used to produce electrical energy in systems where operating conditions do not permit application of brush contacts is characterized in that excitation system has toroidal winding enclosing axis of rotor revolution in combination with stator stacks of two groups alternately enclosing field winding in two opposing directions over circumference. Magnetic circuits of armature phases are made in the form of wound stacks radially disposed on generator butt-ends. Rotor has shaft and two nonmagnetic disks carrying alternately opening and closing through magnetic circuits. EFFECT: reduced size and mass at same phase (pole) number, enhanced efficiency and reliability of torque transfer to shaft. 1 cl, 3 dwg
