APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN A BORE CONNECTOR AND FIELD WINDINGS OF A DYNAMOELETRIC MACHINE

摘要

A generator has a bore connector having a threaded radial opening for receiving a sectional terminal stud. The terminal stud includes an adapter section having threads on a radial inner end thereof for threaded engagement with the bore copper and a recess at its opposite end. An outer section of the terminal stud is received in the recess, making electrical connection therewith through an electrical connector. The outer section is maintained in the radial bore of the rotor by a threaded nut. The rotational orientation of the adapter section is fixed by its threaded engagement with the bore copper, while the outer section can be inserted without regard to rotational orientation, thereby facilitating refurbishment of the generator without remachining the bore copper.
