Abstract
A winding conductor is provided for large dynamoelectric machines, such as turbine generators, consisting of two parallel bars each comprising two stacks of strands transposed between the stacks. The radial flux in the machine causes circulating currents with unequal distribution of current between the two parallel bars of such a conductor, causing excessive heating in one of the bars. The two bars of each conductor are, therefore, made of different cross-sectional areas substantially proportional to the different currents, so that in normal operation, the current density is the same in both bars and overheating is prevented.
