Bolted spherical series and phase connector for stator coils of electrical generators

摘要

A connector arrangement and techniques are provided for reducing eddy current losses and/or skin effects while enabling more readily serviceable series and phase connections between the coil ends 12 and 18 of a generator stator 10 . This may be achieved by providing a connecting structure 24 that enables two parallel electrically conductive paths 26 and 28 that are electrically insulated from one another for passing a respective flow of electric current between the coil ends.
