Vilém Klíma

Vilém Klíma (10 April 1906 – 6 October 1985), originally Wilhelm Kauders, was a Czech electrical engineer and Holocaust survivor who developed a closed-form expression for the distribution factor of a symmetrical three-phase stator winding.

Vilém Klíma (Wilhelm Kauders) died on 6 October 1985 and in an obituary by Frohne it is mentioned that Klíma's equation for the distribution factor of fractional slot windings is not found in textbooks. Another remark in the obituary is that in some references it is stated that it is not possible to find a closed-form expression for the winding factor of fractional slot windings.

An obituary in German was written by Frohne and one in Czech by Čeřovský. He was the father of Czech novelist and playwright Ivan Klíma. Provided by Wikipedia
