A support system for a dynamoelectric machine is disclosed. In one embodiment, the support system includes: a mounting pad having a first face and a second face, the second face including a pair of slots; a pair of spring bars bolted to the mounting pad at the pair of slots; a collar welded or brazed to the first face of the mounting pad; and a key bar between and affixed to the pair of spring bars.

Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, and systems with regard to laminations. In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a lamination having a variable thickness and a spacer connected with the lamination at a location, wherein the location of the spacer is based on a determined thickness of the lamination.

Apparatus and system for attaching integral spacers to laminations

A support system for a dynamoelectric machine is disclosed. In one embodiment, the support system includes: a mounting pad having a first face and a second face, the second face including a pair of slots; a pair of spring bars welded or brazed to the mounting pad at the pair of slots; a collar welded or brazed to the first face of the mounting pad; and a key bar between and affixed to the pair of spring bars.

Dynamoelectric machine support system

A support system is provided for a dynamoelectric machine having a stator and stator bars connected to a connection ring assembly. The support system includes at least one stator bar support bracket and one or more support rings connected to the stator bars. A connection ring support bracket supports the connection ring assembly. A mount is connected to the connection ring support bracket. The mount permits axial movement of the stator bars, the stator bar support bracket, the support rings, and the connection ring assembly due to thermal expansion experienced during operation of the dynamoelectric machine.

Low friction support system for dynamoelectric machine

A method to replace a brushless exciter with a static excitation system for a generator including the steps of: measuring a plurality of dimensions of the brushless exciter; determining a rotational mass moment of inertia of a rotation portion of the excitation system design; forming a rotating static excitation system having substantially the same rotational mass moment of inertia as the brushless exciter; removing the brushless exciter from the generator, and attaching the static excitation system to the generator.
