Stator core for large electric generator with dual dovetail slots for engaging wedges

摘要

A stator core for a dynamoelectric machine includes two pairs of dovetail slots disposed at respective predetermined radial positions in each armature slot. All stator slots contain armature bars. A few equally spaced stator slots also contain "P" bars atop or radially inward from armature bars. Wedges are installed in the radially outer dovetail slots of stator slots containing only armature bars. Wedges are installed in radially inner dovetail slots in stator slots containing both armature bars and "P" bars.
