Abstract
A method of assembling a rotating rectifier having multiple radially spaced bus bars with a corresponding fastener to an electrical machine having at least one machine with a stator and a rotor mounted on a rotating shaft, the method includes inserting the rotating rectifier into a hollow portion of the rotating shaft, axially aligning the fasteners with a corresponding radial opening in the rotating shaft, inhibiting an inward radial movement of the fasteners by inserting an inhibiting tool into an interior defined by the multiple radially spaced bus bars, and at least partially securing the fasteners to a corresponding fastener on at least one of the rotor and rotating shaft while the inhibiting tool resides in the interior.
