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.

Following his death, an obituary in German was written by Frohne and in Czech by Čeřovský. Frohne's obituary mentions that Klíma's equation for the distribution factor of fractional slot windings is not found in textbooks. The obituary also notes that some references state that it is not possible to find a closed-form expression for the winding factor of fractional slot windings.

He was the father of Czech novelist and playwright Ivan Klíma. Provided by Wikipedia
