STATOR END TURN SUPPORT SYSTEM

摘要

18 An end turn support structure is disclosed which permits it to be constructed with varying, preselected coefficients of expansion along its length. This characteristic allows it to expand in a similar manner to the end turns which it supports. This structure also comprises conformable members and external support apparatus that provide a means for firmly attaching the end turns to the support structure and the support structure to. the stator frame.
