Abstract: In water cooled electric generators, an electrical and fluidic connector connects a stator bar to an electrical bus and to a water source. The connector comprises two pieces, a clip and a sleeve. During installation, the sleeve is brazed to the stator bar in a fluid tight manner, and the clip is then brazed to the sleeve. Fluidic connection from the generator's water source to the stator bar is provided by a hose attached to a fluid port on the clip. Connection to the electrical bus of the generator is provided by copper leaves and/or copper piping brazed onto the clip. The clip and the sleeve are both formed from copper to form an electrical connection between the copper leaves and/or copper piping and the stator bar. The connector may be further used to replace a defective electrical and fluidic connector that terminates a stator bar in a water cooled electric generator.
