  • Inner cross over support clip
    Patent number: 7741749
    Abstract: An inner crossover support clip may be used to support a crossover wire joining two adjacent rotor coils on a rotating machine, such as a generator. The support clip of the present invention may be capable of withstanding forces, such as centrifugal forces, that lead to the failure of conventional crossover wires. The support clip may be formed of a sheet material bent at an angle to form an inside surface thereon and may include a tie edge formed on each end of the sheet material. The tie edge attaches to adjacent rotor coils of a rotating machine and the inside surface supports a crossover wire electrically connecting the adjacent rotor coils.
