English term or phrase: 3 phase 4 pole 12 coil generator
As previously noted, an exemplary generator can be configured for 3 phase, 2 phase, single phase alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) power generation. In the present example, a 3 phase AC current implementation is shown. Accordingly, a depiction of the internal wiring connections of the *3 phase 4 pole 12 coil generator* is shown in FIG 21B for both the outer race windings and the inner race windings.

comment comprendre les chiffres dans ce contexte?

alternateur triphasé à 4 pôles et à 12 enroulements
Explanation:
I hope that's what you wanted to know!

To some extent, I believe it's a bit redundant: if it has 3 phases with 4 poles, then it is extremely likely it will have 12 windings! But then this sort of precision is of course normal in the context of a patent.

Note that I have suggested 'alternateur' instead of 'générateur' — we know that it is an AC generator, hence 'alternator' would probbaly have been the more technically correct term to have used in the source language, and I thinjk it certainly is in the target languag; I certainly encounter 'alternateur' FAR more frequently than I do 'générateur' in my FR > EN translations in this field.

agree  Jennifer Levey: OK, but in Asker's context I'd use "générateur", which is the generic (oops!) term for something that generates electric current. Note that we say "the machine generates current", not "the machine alternates current".

  -> Thanks, Robin! Yes, I know, but an AC generator = an alternator, and as I said, I see this much more often in FR texts.
