ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a rotor for an electrical machine, the rotor having a current-carrying winding comprising a plurality of circumferentially distributed winding portions which lie in at least one plane perpendicular to the rotor axis, and extend from a radially inner region to a radially outer region. A commutator is provided by surfaces of the winding portions at the inner region, and the winding is formed from a plurality of conductive sections, each having ends which lie at said outer region, interconnections between the winding sections being made only by way of those ends. Thus, soldered connections made between the winding sections will be remote from the commutator, which is the main source of heat for overheating, and moreover will be at positions where air cooling due to rotor movement is greatest. Air gaps between the winding portions at the outer region aid this cooling affect even further.
