Abstract
A parallel conducting ring structure for a dynamoelectric machine is configured to be mounted as a subassembly upon a conventional support cone for wholesale installation through an opening formed in an axial end of the casing structure surrounding the stator core of a dynamoelectric machine. Tab connections are attached, at preselected locations about the axis of the stator core, to the parallel conducting ring structure and are insulated with conventional groundwall insulation. Depending upon the particular direction of rotation of the rotor and upon the direction in which the generated electromotive forces are to peak, each direction of which is selected by the utility, the subassembly is installed within the casing structure through the opening, and adapted for such particular directions by stripping the insulation from selected ones of the tab connections, attaching the main leads exiting the casing structure to such tab connections, and leaving the remaining ones of the tab connections insulated.
