Patent number: 12009126Abstract: An assembly comprises a resistor support housing for a rotating rectifier assembly (RRA). A shaft bore is defined through the resistor support housing for passage of a shaft of an electrical machine. The resistor support housing defines a main annular body around the shaft bore. An end housing is mounted to one axial end of the resistor support housing. The end housing defines a portion of the shaft bore therethrough.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Hamilton Sundstrand CorporationInventors: Kyle S. Sirbasku, Dhaval Patel, Andrew R. Wilkinson, Mary Christelle Ann Calacal, Yaser J. Isa, Edward C. Allen, Duane C. Johnson

Patent number: 11949294Abstract: An assembly comprises a resistor plate for a rotating rectifier assembly (RRA). A shaft bore is defined through the resistor plate for passage of a shaft of an electrical machine, and the resistor plate defines a main annular body around the shaft bore. A first protrusion extends radially outward from the main annular body, so that a first pin bore extends through the first protrusion. At least one contact band is seated in a the pin bore of the resistor plate for mounting a direct current (DC) pin to the resistor plate.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Hamilton Sundstrand CorporationInventors: Kyle S.
