Abstract:
A wedge for use in a generator rotor includes a wedge body extending for an axial length and having a generally triangular cross-section, a first side of the wedge body extending for the axial length of the wedge body, a second side of the wedge body extending for the axial length of the wedge body and having a generally flat surface, a third side of the wedge body extending for the axial length of the wedge body and having a generally flat surface, a first arm extending circumferentially away from the wedge body at an interface between the first side and the second side and extending axially along the wedge body, and a second arm extending circumferentially away from the wedge body at an interface between the first side and the third side and extending axially along the wedge body.
