    Abstract: An electrical machine includes a stator defining a plurality of circumferentially spaced slots. A layered conductor is wound into the slots. The layered conductor includes a plurality of layers wherein at least two adjacent layers in the plurality of layers have electrical conductivities that are different from one another. The at least two adjacent layers can form an interface therebetween that is tangentially aligned with a circumferential direction around the stator. The at least two adjacent layers can be in electrical communication with one another with no intervening insulator therebetween. One of the at least two adjacent layers can include a relatively high electrical conductivity metal, and another one of the at least two adjacent layers can include a relatively low electrical conductivity metal.

    Abstract: An aircraft main power generation system includes a rotor shaft, a main power generator a permanent magnet, an exciter, an aircraft power bus, and a generator control unit. The generator control unit is configured to provide a control current to the exciter in response to a speed of the main power generator reaching a threshold speed and electrically couple the main power generator to the aircraft power bus in response to the speed of the main power generator reaching a minimum operating speed, the threshold speed being lower than the minimum operating speed; or provide a control current to the exciter in response to the speed of the main power generator reaching a predetermined speed and electrically coupling the main power generator to the aircraft power bus in response to a time period elapsing after the speed of the main power generator has reached the predetermined speed.

    Abstract: A stator for a generator includes a core having a back iron that is annular in shape and poles that extend inward from the back iron, a hoop having an annular shape that is radially inward from the back iron, and a plurality of winding supports surrounding the poles. Each winding support includes a tooth extending radially inward from the hoop and surrounding a corresponding pole with the tooth having a first end adjacent to the hoop and a second end radially inward from the first end and a first channel on a first axial side of the tooth extending from the second end to the first end. The stator also includes a plurality of windings with each winding wrapped around a corresponding tooth so that each winding is spaced from the tooth at the first channel.
