APPARATUS FOR MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS IN A DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE

摘要

A dynamoelectric machine includes a stator assembly having one or more sets of electrical windings. Apparatus for electrically interconnecting external electrical leads, a thermal protector and ends of each set of windings includes a protector block for commonly connecting one end of at least one winding set with the thermal protector. The thermal protector (P) is housed in the protector block (5). A terminal block (55) interlocks with the protector block (5) to hold the thermal protector (P) in place. An electrically conductive arm (A2) of the thermal protector (P) extends through the terminal block (55) to effect connection of the thermal protector with an external lead. The terminal block (55) also provides for connection of the other end of each winding set with another external lead.
