In one embodiment the present invention is an MLB assemblythat is made up of two circular terminal conductor ends. Multiple finsradially extend from each of the two circular terminal conductor ends, and each fin on each of the two circular terminal conductor ends has a matching fin on the other of the two circular terminal ends. Multiple flexible connectorsare attached to the finsthat electrically connects the terminal conductors. The flexible connectorsalso allow for a difference of movement between the two circular terminal ends. Current flowing through the MBL assemblyis evenly distributedthrough the plurality of flexible connectors.

Method and apparatus for a multiple fin style current connector

A corona suppression apparatus for a dynamoelectric machine having a stator coil () covered with a corona suppression covering (), the apparatus including a member () conducting to ground () abutting a top layer () of the corona suppression covering proximate an overlap region () of the corona suppression covering. The member may be positioned in a gap () between the stator coil corona suppression covering and a stator core clamping finger () extending from the stator core proximate the stator coil. The member may also be configured to exert a compressive force on the overlap region by being compression biased between the corona suppression covering and the stator core clamping finger.
