Abstract: A stator bar clip adapter for a liquid cooled dynamoelectric device having a stator bar bottle clip coupled to a first stator bar and a stator bar leaf clip coupled to a second, same series-loop stator bar, and a related dynamoelectric device are disclosed. The stator bar clip adapter includes a bottle clip engaging member configured to engage a stator bar bottle clip; and a leaf clip engaging member coupled to the bottle clip engaging member and configured to engage a stator bar leaf clip.

Abstract: Punchings for stator core laminations of a generator stator frame are disposed on a rotary table to form annular arrays of punching, with each layer staggered relative to adjacent layers. A mandrel is disposed at the center of the table and has fingers projecting radially for receiving the slots of the punchings to facilitate location of the punchings on the table and relative to one another. An annular cover is provided and disposed over the uppermost layer of punchings and clamped to the superposed sets of annular layers of punchings. The cover and punchings can then be removed from the table for disposition in the generator stator frame. The fingers on the mandrel are displaced vertically relative to the table as the height of the punchings on the table increases.

Abstract: A stator comprises a stator frame, a stator core and a spring. The stator core includes at least one lamination having a dovetail slot formed therein. A key bar is connected to the stator frame and includes a dovetail for engaging the dovetail slot. The spring is coupled between a portion of the lamination and the dovetail to provide an electrical ground path between the stator core and the stator frame. The spring includes a leaf spring that has first and second ends which contact the dovetail and a central portion. The central portion is connected to a base portion which contacts the lamination. Alternatively, the spring includes a base portion that contacts the lamination and prongs which project from the base portion and contact the dovetail.
