Abstract
A generator includes a shaft and rotor body defining poles and a winding positioned around the shaft on the rotor body. A rotor pole crossover is aligned to the shaft and connects ends of the winding between adjacent poles. The rotor pole crossover includes a body member having a curved medial section and opposing legs extending outwardly from the curved medial section that connect to the ends of the winding. The curved medial section has at least one slot formed therein to add flexibility to the rotor pole crossover.
