Publication number: 20140028127Abstract: A buss bar assembly for electrically interconnecting phase leads extending from a plurality of individual coil winding assemblies of a stator. The buss bar body has an annular housing defining a central axis and a support for positioning the housing relative to coil winding assemblies. A phase bar disposed about the central axis is at least partially disposed within the housing and has contacts at locations about the central axis. Each contact is engageable from outside of the annular housing and angularly spaced from another contact. The buss bar assembly is adapted for installation relative to the coil winding assemblies such that the housing surrounds the stator central axis, the body axially inner face interfaces the stator coil winding assemblies, and the contacts are spaced by the support from the coil winding assemblies and engaged with phase leads. Also a method for installing a buss bar assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2012Publication date: January 30, 2014Inventors: Bradley Duane Chamberlin, David Lee Durant
