Abstract
A generator stator core has a plurality of axially extending radial slots arranged about the periphery thereof with windings in each of the radial slots. At least one adjustable wedge and slide assembly is located in each of the slots, arranged to restrain the windings, the assembly including a wedge component and a slide component which interface along respective sloped surfaces formed on respective sides of each of the wedge component and the slide component. The slide component is formed with a zone of laterally extending, discrete fingers on each side thereof that are angled relative to a longitudinal axis of the slide. The wedge component is slidably received in a pair of dovetail grooves in the radial slot with the slide component located between the wedge component and the windings such that the discrete fingers engage side walls of the radial slot.
