A method and associated apparatus (10) are provided for tightening slot wedges (32, 36) of a generator rotor. The method preferably includes the steps of positioning an electrically-conductive slot tightening member (25) within a recess (20) formed in at least one slot filler member (12, 16) positioned within a rotor slot (18) and positioning at least two end portions of electrically-conductive slot wedges (32, 36) to overlie the recess (20) and abuttingly contact at least portions of the slot tightening member (25) so that an electrically-conductive path is provided from one of the at least two end portions of the slot wedges (32, 36), through the slot tightening member (25), and to another one of the at least two end portions of the slot wedges (32, 36). The apparatus (10) preferably includes at least one slot filler member (12) for positioning within a rotor slot (18). The at least one slot filler member (12) has a recess (20) formed therein. An electrically-conductive slot tightening member (25) is positioned within the recess (20), and at least two electrically-conductive slot wedges (32, 36) are positioned so that respective end portions thereof overlie the recess (20) so that an electrically-conductive path is provided from one of the respective end portions of the slot wedges (32, 36), through the slot tightening member (25), and to another one of the respective end portions of the slot wedges (32, 36).
