Abstract:
A method of installing the terminal block assembly onto a generator includes the step of providing a terminal block with multiple terminal studs. Protrusions that are integral with the terminal block are aligned with corresponding bores in a generator housing. The terminal block is mounted on the generator housing with the protrusions received in the bores. A terminal lead assembly is inserted through the protrusion, and a terminal pad of the terminal lead assembly is arranged over the terminal stud. A terminal lug is fastened to the terminal stud. A terminal cover is secured to the terminal block over the terminal with a boss of the terminal block received in a corresponding recess of the terminal cover.

Abstract:
A rotor connection support comprising a main connection ring configured to reduce the moment load on fastener locations (such as threaded fastener locations) by integrating stand-off posts into a high strength plate are discussed herein. These stand-offs may be configured to reduce the stresses on the high stress concentration/low cross section threads. Also, included is an improved wire routing and wire support configured to maximize the fatigue cycles of the main field lead wires.
Abstract:
A core for an electrical machine includes a core body. The core body extends long a rotation axis and includes two or more core segments axially stacked with one another along the rotation axis. A plurality of the core segments define notches that are axially-aligned to one another and form an axial slot. The first core segment notch has an area that is greater than an area of a second core segment notch to accommodate thermal expansion of the core.
