Mounting bracket for bracing peripheral connecting rings for dynamoelectric machines' stator windings

摘要

A mounting bracket for bracing C-shaped peripheral connecting ring segments situated in the stator end regions of a dynamoelectric machine stator structure. Mounting brackets are connected to both ends of the stator structure at desired circumferential positions. Each mounting bracket has a foundation structure which includes a base portion and a spacer retaining leg portion situated on each end thereof. A base spacer having several teeth separated slots is engageable with the base and retaining leg portions. The base spacer is secured in engagement by a bolt extending therethrough between retaining leg portions such that the slots face away from the base. L-shaped and T-shaped spacers are engageable in a cooperative configuration with the base spacer between the retaining leg portions such that the notches at the intersections of the legs of the T-shaped and L-shaped spacers cooperate with the base spacer's slots to provide channels for receiving and retaining the peripheral connector ring segments. The T-shaped and L-shaped spacers are secured in the cooperative configuration by a bolt extending therethrough between the spacer retaining leg portions.
