A linear measurement device for a stator core inspection system includes a plurality of wheels rotatably mounted to a frame. Each of the wheels has a contact surface and a hub portion. The linear measurement device further includes an encoder gear rotatably mounted to the frame. The linear measurement device further includes a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of rotation of the encoder gear. The linear measurement device further includes a belt configured to engage the hub portion of each wheel and the encoder gear, and rotation of one wheel causing synchronous rotation of the encoder gear and the other wheels.

Method and apparatus for linear measurement of a stator core

A method for manufacturing a liquid-cooled stator bar suitable for use in a generator. The method includes providing a stator bar comprising a plurality of conducting strands collectively formed into a desired shape, wherein at least one of the conducting strands is configured to channel a liquid for cooling the stator bar. At least one layer of ground wall insulation is applied to the outer portions of the stator bar, and then at least one layer of a conductive tape is applied to an outer area of the ground wall insulation. The ground wall insulation and the conductive tape are cured.
