An externally excited electric synchronous machine may include a machine rotor, a machine stator, and a signal transmission device for contactless transmission of an operating signal corresponding to a DC voltage to the machine stator. The machine rotor may include a rotor shaft and a machine rotor coil. The machine rotor coil may be supplied with DC voltage and may provide a magnetic rotor field. The machine stator may include a machine stator coil that is fixed relative to the machine stator. The machine stator coil may provide a magnetic stator field, which may interact with the magnetic rotor field such that the machine rotor rotates. The signal transmission device may include (i) on the machine rotor, a signal coil connected in series with the machine rotor coil and (ii) on the machine stator, a magnetic field sensor that detects a magnetic field provided via the signal coil.

Externally excited electric synchronous machine

An electrical rotary transformer for inductive energy transmission may include a rotary transformer stator, a rotary transformer rotor rotatable relative to the rotary transformer stator, and a capacitive coupler for capacitive electrical signal transmission between the rotary transformer stator and the rotary transformer rotor. The rotary transformer stator may include a primary coil. The rotary transformer rotor may include a secondary coil inductively couplable to the primary coil. The capacitive coupler may be partly formed on the rotary transformer stator and the rotary transformer rotor. The capacitive coupler may include two plate capacitors that may each include a first and a second plate element. The two first plate elements may be arranged on the stator. The two second plate elements may be arranged on the rotary transformer rotor. The first plate element and the second plate element of each plate capacitor may be disposed opposite one another for capacitive coupling.

Electrical rotary transformer for inductive energy transmission

An inductively electrically excited synchronous machine is disclosed. The synchronous machine includes a rotor including at least one rotor coil for generating a magnetic rotor field, a stator, on which the rotor is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation, and including at least one stator coil for generating a magnetic stator field, and a rotary transformer for inductively transmitting electrical energy to the at least one rotor coil. The rotary transforming includes at least one stator-fixed transformer primary coil and at least one rotor-fixed transformer secondary coil. A machine controller is coupled to the stator coil and to the at transformer primary coil for operation as a motor and/or as a generator. A demagnetizing circuit is provided that includes at least one dynamo winding arranged on the stator. The demagnetizing circuit has at least one switching device for activating and deactivating the demagnetizing circuit.

Inductively electrically excited synchronous machine

An externally excited electric machine may comprise a stator, a rotor, a primary winding, a secondary winding, and electronics. The rotor may be arranged coaxially to and/or in the stator. The rotor may be rotatable relative to the stator about a rotation axis running in an axial direction. The rotor may have a magnetizable hollow-cylindrical core. The primary winding may be guided axially through the core. An electric primary current may flow through the primary winding. The secondary winding may be wound around the core so that an electric secondary current is induced via the primary winding in the secondary winding. The electronic may be connect to the secondary winding for tapping the secondary current.
