Stator winding support structure for dynamo-electric machines provided with a superconducting rotor winding

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5310639
A stator winding support structure is described for a dynamo-electric machine particularly adapted for a machine of the type provided with a superconducting rotor winding. The structure includes an annular support on which conductor bars forming the stator winding are mounted. The annular support is located within the stator core and spaced radially therefrom to establish a circumferentially extending gap therebetween and this gap is filled out by a circumferentially extending array of wedge means incorporating elastically compressible inserts so as to establish a radially resilient mounting for the annular winding support that provides for a predetermined expansion limit.
