Abstract
A clamping apparatus clamps opposing pairs of stator coil windings of a turbine generator and includes a retaining platform positioned adjacent one side and across a pair of coil windings having a space therebetween. A bore extends therethrough and is aligned with the space between the pair of coil windings. A connecting insert member is carried within the bore of the retaining platform and has a threaded through-hole aligned with the space between the pair of coil windings. A threaded rod extends through the space between the pair of coil windings and through the threaded through-hole of the connecting insert member. The threaded rod mates with the threaded through-hole such that the tension created in the threaded rod during tightening biases the retaining platform against the pair of coil windings.
