    Abstract: A rotating machine drive system includes: a rotating machine that includes a plurality of windings; a phase current detecting circuit that detects a phase current to be supplied to the rotating machine; an inverter device that includes an inverter circuit that converts DC power from a DC power supply into AC power, and a control device that controls power conversion being performed by an inverter main circuit on the basis of the phase current detected by the phase current detecting circuit, the inverter device operating the rotating machine at a variable speed; and a winding switching device that switches connections of the plurality of windings in accordance with a command from the control device. In a case where the rotation zone of the rotating machine is to be changed, the control device stops the current supply from the inverter circuit to the rotating machine, and switches the rotation zone of the rotating machine from a low-speed rotation zone to a high-speed rotation zone, or from the high-speed rotation zone to the low-speed rotation zone, on condition that a line internal voltage induced by a field magnetic flux of the rotating machine is lower than the DC voltage of the DC power supply.

    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a stator for a dynamo-electric machine, with which axial size can be reduced; and, an electrically powered wheel provided with the stator for the dynamo-electric machine. A stator 10 for a dynamo-electric machine is provided with a stator core 100, a plurality of coils 201A-201D, and jumper wires 202A-202C. The stator core 100 has first teeth 101 around which a coil is wound and second teeth 102 around which a coil is not wound. The first teeth 101 and the second teeth 102 are disposed alternatingly in the circumferential direction. The jumper wire 202 extends circumferentially and radially with a bent section to absorb variations in the spacing between one coil and another, and is disposed at a position overlapping the second teeth 102 when viewed from the axial direction of the dynamo-electric machine. Further, the jumper wire 202 is disposed closer to the stator core 100 relative to an axial end of a coil at least partially wound around the first teeth 101.

    Abstract: An in-wheel motor with improved driving force has a simplified cooling structure for the motor and a braking device. The in-wheel motor has a motor that transmits motive power to a wheel, at least a portion of the motor being disposed inside the wheel; a first cooling part and a second cooling part that cool a stator of the motor; and a braking device that applies braking to the wheel. The braking device 25 is formed from a brake disc that rotates with the wheel and a brake caliper that induces braking by imparting friction to the brake disc. The brake caliper operates in the axial direction of the motor to induce braking in the brake disc. A portion of an axial-direction end of the brake caliper is in contact with the stator. The first cooling part and the second cooling part cool the braking device through the stator.

    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine according to the present invention has a plurality of segmented coils respectively disposed in a plurality of layers aligned in a row in a radial direction inside a slot of a stator core. The segmented coils comprise: first regions (111a, 121a) that each have a straight line section disposed inside the slot and a protrusion that protrudes to the outside of the slot from one end of the straight line section; and second regions (112a, 122a) that are formed so as to extend toward one side in the circumferential direction from the other end of the respective straight line section, and such that the position in the radial direction changes. The tip end section of the second region (112a) of a first segmented coil (110a) disposed in a prescribed layer within a prescribed slot is disposed and connected so as to be adjacent, in the radial direction, to the tip end section of the first region (121a) of a second segmented coil (120a) disposed in the prescribed layer within a slot adjacent to the prescribed slot.
