Abstract: An end winding support segment for a generator rotor includes a support segment body with a curved inner surface configured to be adjacent to a rotor shaft, a winding support arm extending radially outward from the support segment body, and an orifice extending from the curved inner surface of the support to an exterior surface of the support adjacent the winding support arm with the orifice configured to transfer lubricant from a surface of the rotor shaft to a winding located on the winding support arm.

Abstract: A wedge for use in a generator rotor includes a wedge body extending for an axial length and having a generally triangular cross-section, a first side of the wedge body extending for the axial length of the wedge body, a second side of the wedge body extending for the axial length of the wedge body and having a generally flat surface, a third side of the wedge body extending for the axial length of the wedge body and having a generally flat surface, a first arm extending circumferentially away from the wedge body at an interface between the first side and the second side and extending axially along the wedge body, and a second arm extending circumferentially away from the wedge body at an interface between the first side and the third side and extending axially along the wedge body.

Abstract: A wedge for use in a generator rotor includes a wedge body having a generally triangular cross-section with a first side, second side and third side with the third side being at a 90 degree angle to the second side and equal in length to the second side. The wedge also includes a first contact surface adjacent to the second side at an interface between the first side and the second side, a second contact surface adjacent to the third side at an interface between the first side and the third side, a first tab extending outward from the first contact surface at a location between the first contact surface and the first side, and a second tab extending outward from the second contact surface at a location between the second contact surface and the second side with the second tab having an equal height to the first tab.

Abstract: An end winding support for a generator rotor includes a support body with an annular inner surface configured to be radially outward from a rotor shaft, a plurality of winding support arms extending radially outward from the support body, and a plurality of orifices extending from the annular inner surface of the support to an exterior surface of the support body adjacent the plurality of winding support arms with the plurality of orifices configured to transfer lubricant from a surface of the rotor shaft to a plurality of windings located on the plurality of winding support arms.
