Abstract
A high voltage stator bar (FIG. ) is used in a power generation system and includes a core section having a core and stator coil , including at least one coil involute. A ground wall insulation layer overlies and surrounds the stator coil. An inner grounding electrode overlies and surrounds at least a portion of the ground wall insulation layer and includes the at least one coil involute. An insulator overlies and surrounds the inner grounding electrode and leaves at least one exposed area of the inner grounding electrode. An outer grounding electrode overlies and surrounds the insulator and is electrically connected to the inner grounding electrode at the at least one exposed area of the inner grounding electrode for relieving a build-up of internal voltage, thereby preventing partial discharge.
