A method for repairing or servicing a wye ring of a generator includes the steps of, dismantling the generator to gain access to the wye ring, determining a fault location in the wye ring; and attaching a patch to the wye ring in an area of the fault location. The patch provides an electrical path around the fault location so that the generator is repaired.
