  • Amortisseur assembly for a rotor, and a method of forming an amortisseur assembly
    Patent number: 9059613
    Abstract: An amortisseur assembly comprises an end winding amortisseur. The end winding amortisseur comprises a body, at least one finger element, and a stop block. The body comprises a first edge. The finger element extends from the first edge of the body, and comprises a first surface. The stop block can attached to the first surface. The amortisseur assembly can further comprise a slot amortisseur so that the stop block abuts an end of the slot amortisseur. The amortisseur assembly can be assembled on a radial-flow cooled rotor. A method of forming an amortisseur assembly for a rotor comprises providing one or more slot amortisseurs and one or more of the end winding amortisseurs. The slot amortisseurs can be provided by shortening existing slot amortisseurs. The slot springs can replace existing slot springs, and the one or more slot springs can be longer than the existing slot springs.
