Abstract
A stator drain supports stator windings and rotor bearings and permits fluid coolant for the rotor bearings to be drained outward past the stator windings from the bearings. The drain is formed of a non-metallic material and has an inner surface for supporting a bearing liner of the rotor bearings, a plurality of spaced openings for receiving stator windings and drain slots extending through the annular member at locations corresponding to spaces between the stator windings for draining the fluid coolant. The stator drain is useful in a dual permanent magnet generator, for example.
