ROTOR WEDGE FOR A GENERATOR

摘要

A wedge for use in a generator rotor includes a wedge body having a generally triangular cross-section with a first side, second side and third side with the third side being at a 90 degree angle to the second side and equal in length to the second side. The wedge also includes a first contact surface adjacent to the second side at an interface between the first side and the second side, a second contact surface adjacent to the third side at an interface between the first side and the third side, a first tab extending outward from the first contact surface at a location between the first contact surface and the first side, and a second tab extending outward from the second contact surface at a location between the second contact surface and the second side with the second tab having an equal height to the first tab.

主权项

1. A wedge for use in a generator rotor comprising:
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, the third side being at a 90 degree angle to the second side and equal in length to the second side; a first contact surface adjacent to the second side at an interface between the first side and the second side; a second contact surface adjacent to the third side at an interface between the first side and the third side; a first tab extending outward from the first contact surface at a location between the first contact surface and the first side; and a second tab extending outward from the second contact surface at a location between the second contact surface and the second side, the second tab having an equal height to the first tab.
