    Abstract: In a rotor for a rotary electric machine, a claw pole assembly includes first claw poles and second claw poles. An annular cover member covers the outer circumferential surfaces of the first and second claw poles. The pole cover segments and the inter-pole cover segments are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotor. Each of the pole cover segments has a circular-arc shape around a first center, and each of the inter-pole cover segments has a circular-arc shape around a second center different from the first center. The first circumferential width of each pole cover segment and the second circumferential width of a corresponding one of the inter-pole segment adjacent to the pole cover segment have a predetermined ratio. The predetermined ratio varies in an axial direction of the rotor.

    Abstract: A rotary electric machine is equipped with a stator and a rotor. The rotor has a d-axis magnetic circuit that is produced by a magnetomotive force of a field winding, and magnet magnetic circuits that are produced by a magnetic force of permanent magnets. The d-axis magnetic circuit and a q-axis magnetic circuit have at least a part thereof that is common to both. The permeance of the d-axis magnetic circuit is smaller than the permeance of the q-axis magnetic circuit, when a load is being applied to the rotor. A control apparatus of the rotary electric machine has a switching circuit that controls the field current in the field winding, and a control section that makes the switching frequency of the switching circuit become higher when the field current is above a threshold value than when the field current is less than or equal to the threshold value.

    Abstract: In a rotating electric machine, a rotor includes a field core, a field coil and permanent magnets. The field core has a boss portion and claw-shaped magnetic pole portions. Each of the permanent magnets is arranged between one circumferentially-adjacent pair of the claw-shaped magnetic pole portions. A d-axis magnetic circuit and a magnet magnetic circuit share a magnetic path in at least parts thereof. Along the d-axis magnetic circuit, magnetic flux generated by the magnetomotive force of the field coil flows through the boss portion, one pair of the claw-shaped magnetic pole portions and a stator core. Along the magnet magnetic circuit, magnetic flux generated by the magnetic force of a corresponding one of the permanent magnets flows. The relationship of Ast>Af is satisfied, where Ast is a magnetic path cross-sectional area of a stator and Af is a magnetic path cross-sectional area of the rotor.

    Abstract: A rotating electric machine includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a stator core and an armature coil wound on the stator core. The rotor is arranged radially inside the stator to radially face the stator. The rotor includes: a field core having a plurality of magnetic pole portions for respectively forming a plurality of magnetic poles the polarities of which are alternately different in a circumferential direction; a field coil wound on the field core; and a tubular short-circuiting member that is arranged radially outside the magnetic pole portions to cover radially outer surfaces of the magnetic pole portions and magnetically connects each circumferentially-adjacent pair of the magnetic pole portions. The short-circuiting member is provided within an axial range between two axial ends of the stator core.
