Abstract
A method of servicing a stator frame of a power generator. The method includes removing a first stator core from a main housing of the stator frame, removing a plurality of first dove-tail shaped keybars that extend axially within and are coupled to a main support structure forming part of the main housing, and installing a plurality of second keybars in the main support structure in place of the first dove-tail shaped keybars. The second keybars are adapted to support a second stator core. Each of the second keybars has a generally rounded engagement surface and the second stator core includes recesses with shapes corresponding to the generally rounded engagement surfaces of the second keybars such that the second stator core can be securely supported in the main support structure by the second keybars.
