A vibration reduction assembly for isolating the top cover from the machine, for use in combination with a dynamoelectric machine having a cover for guiding air into and out of the machine while protecting the machine from airborne water and dirt. The vibration reduction assembly comprises a plurality of spaced neoprene pads provided between the cover and the machine,. the pads of a density and size selected to obtain low transmissibility and amplification of vibration caused by the machine thereby reducing vibration of the machine; a plurality .of closed cell foam rubber strips positioned between adjacent ones of the plurality of neoprene pads, the strips for filling space between the cover and for protecting the machine from incident atmospheric precipitation and dust. The cover is affixed to the machine with a plurality of bolts, each bolt engaging a neoprene washer and a neoprene sleeve to eliminate metal to metal contact.
