Abstract
An improved connection arrangement is provided for forming the electrical connection between a rotor winding and a rotatable diode pack, mounted on the rotor, in which rotor winding terminals are compressably sandwiched between the diode pack and the rotor or a diode pack mounting arrangement, such as an end winding support, attached thereto. By sandwiching the winding terminal in this manner, mechanical stresses and strain hardening of the connection may be avoided to increase reliability. Further mechanical support for the electrical connection is also provided while avoiding the use of parts which significantly contribute to the overall length of the electrical machine.
