Abstract
A rotor of an alternator which is composed of a Lundell type core has a wire wound spirally around the rotor. The wire binds the claw poles at equal intervals from the tip to the base of each claw pole, thereby restricting the radial expansion of the claw poles due to centrifugal forces. The wire is made of a non-magnetic material, and is received in grooves formed on the outer circumferential surface collectively formed by the claw poles.
