TURBINE GENERATOR END-WINDING SUPPORT APPARATUS

摘要

TURBINE GENERATOR END-WINDING SUPPORT APPARATUS A plurality of non-conductive rings are positioned around the outside surface which is defined by the end-winding conductors. A plurality of nonconductive flexure plates are secured to the rings and extend radially outward therefrom. The flexure plates are also secured to the generator frame by a coupling assembly which permits tangential movement and prevents axial and radial movement of the outermost flexure plate end. The plates flex in the axial direction to compensate for temperature responsive dimensional changes of the endwinding assembly.
