Dynamoelectric machine with adjustable bias end winding support assembly

摘要

A dynamoelectric machine 20 includes a rotor 24 and a stator 26 surrounding the rotor. The stator 26 includes a plurality of windings arranged in a main portion 28 adjacent the rotor 24 and terminating in a plurality of inner and outer end windings 32, 34 extending outwardly from the main portion. An end winding support assembly 22 includes at least one support ring 36 for the plurality of end windings 32 and a respective adjustable bias member 38 between the at least one support ring and each adjacent end winding to provide an adjustable separation bias between the at least one support ring and each adjacent end winding.
