Moreover, the invention relates to a manufacturing method for such a conductor.
  • Stator windings wound from normal conducting electrical conductors This is typically the case even if superconducting materials are used in the windings of the rotor, because the use of superconductors in the stator is usually not advantageous due to the generally relatively high alternating current losses.
  • the electrical conductors of the normally-conductive stator windings are based on the prior art on a good conductive metal, such as copper or aluminum or an alloy as a conductor material, usually a plurality of individual wires are stranded into a common conductor strand (strand). The mechanical strength of such a cable structure results both from the mechanical properties of the individual wires and from the friction or the resistance to movement between the individual strands.

  • the individual conductors can also be surrounded by a fluid cooling medium for better heat dissipation, for example, from an oil of good thermal conductivity and / or good heat capacity.
  • the AC losses incurred in the operation of such an electrical machine - in particular the proportion of eddy current losses - are decisively influenced in the stator by the thickness of the individual conductors used. To reduce the AC losses, it is desirable to keep the Einzellei ⁇ ter diameter as small as possible. At the same time, a high filling factor of the conductive material of the individual conductors is desirable, so that the space requirement of
  • Stator winding (s) is not unnecessarily high. Also, the weight of the stator winding (s) should not be increased by an undesirably high proportion of a material surrounding the individual conductors.
  • stator windings may be advantageous to cool the stator windings likewise to a cryogenic temperature Tem ⁇ in an electrical machine (particularly when using a low-temperature superconducting rotor), even if they are normal conducting.

Regardless of the ratio of the specific resistances at room temperature, in any case at 20 K the material of the matrix should have a higher specific resistance than the material of the filaments. This has the consequence that the flow of current in the conductor takes place at least at 20 K We ⁇ sentlichen by the filaments. The AC losses are then significantly reduced by the arranged between the highly conductive filaments and comparatively less conductive matrix compared to a conductor consisting of uniformly conductive material.
