Abstract
An SRE fan has a hub, a carrier extending outwardly of the hub and a plurality of vanes on a first side of the carrier. The carrier has a second side opposite the first side that is configured to contact an engagement surface of a rotor segment. Channels are provided on the second side of the carrier. Rotor coil leads are surrounded by respective compressible insulated sleeves and are each routed through respective channels. The geometry of the channels is adapted to cooperate with the engagement surface of the rotor to enclose the channels and establish a uniform channel depth. The depth is selected to be less than an uncompressed diameter of the sleeves so as to provide a measure of compression when the fan contacts the rotor, holding the leads in place.
