  • Coil end insulation for dynamoelectric machines
    Patent number: 3978359
    Abstract: A construction is provided for the stator coil ends of large dynamoelectric machines such as turbine generators of the inner-cooled type which effectively insulates the ends of the gas coils and mechanically reinforces them without interfering with ventilation. An insulating vent cap is applied over the ventilating tubes at each end of each conductor. The vent caps have a soft, uncured portion and are fitted to the conductor and then impregnated with a resin and cured in place to obtain a good fit of the cap on the conductor. The complete coil ends and connections are then covered with an insulating and mechanically reinforcing tape.

  • Liquid-cooled conductors for dynamoelectric machines
    Patent number: 3950665
    Abstract: A conductor is provided for large dynamo-electric machines, such as turbine generators, having a header at the end of the conductor for connection in a liquid-cooling system and having means for strengthening and reinforcing the conductor in the region immediately adjacent the header to reduce the excessive strains which may occur in this region and greatly reduce the possibility of failures of the conductor or of individual strands of the conductor.
