Grounding and clamping member for stator coil

摘要

A corona suppression apparatus for a dynamoelectric machine having a stator coil ( 12 ) covered with a corona suppression covering ( 16 ), the apparatus including a member ( 10 ) conducting to ground ( 20 ) abutting a top layer ( 28 ) of the corona suppression covering proximate an overlap region ( 18 ) of the corona suppression covering. The member may be positioned in a gap ( 30 ) between the stator coil corona suppression covering and a stator core clamping finger ( 24 ) extending from the stator core proximate the stator coil. The member may also be configured to exert a compressive force on the overlap region by being compression biased between the corona suppression covering and the stator core clamping finger.
