Abstract
A support system is provided for a dynamoelectric machine having a stator and stator bars connected to a connection ring assembly. The support system includes at least one stator bar support bracket and one or more support rings connected to the stator bars. A connection ring support bracket supports the connection ring assembly. A mount is connected to the connection ring support bracket. The mount permits axial movement of the stator bars, the stator bar support bracket, the support rings, and the connection ring assembly due to thermal expansion experienced during operation of the dynamoelectric machine.
