Abstract
A wedge assembly for use in retaining a conductive winding in the core slot of a dynamoelectric machine including a conformable hose positioned within the core slot and cooperable with the conductive winding. The conformable hose is useful in minimizing movement of the conductive winding during operation of the dynamoelectric machine by filling gaps caused during the assembly process. The conformable hose may be filled with a resinous material under pressure and may be further looped over the end of and attached to the top of the slot wedge for use in retaining optionally used wedge locks.
