    Abstract: A clamp assembly for securing a plurality of windings of an induction coil in a fixed position includes a T-shaped latch bar formed of high strength insulating material. The T-shaped latch bar has a stem and a cross member. The stem is secured to a second winding of three end windings, which preferably is located between the terminal or endmost winding of the coil, and the third winding, by a pair of stud bolts which are welded on the second winding. The cross member extends in an axial direction between the three windings. A pair of lugs are welded onto the terminal winding and the third winding. The ends of the cross member are formed with a pair of notches into which the lugs are seated for stabilizing the terminal winding and the adjacent two windings.
