A connector assembly for joining gas-cooled conductors of a dynamoelectric machine. Conductor compression in two mutually perpendicular directions is provided by a pair of plate members which are slideably engaged with a pair of wedge members. A compressive force applied to the plate members is transmitted directly to overlapping conductor end portions in a first direction, and a component of the compressive force is also transmitted to the conductors in a direction normal to the first direction by means of an inclined surface engaging arrangement between the wedge and plate member. The positive, controllable biaxial compression feature provides high mechanical strength and good electrical conductivity. Bolts for securing the plate and wedge members together are inserted from only one side of the connector, thereby providing easy assembly and clearance for induction soldering and ultrasonic inspection. |
