ABSTRACT:
A flexible main lead connector design for connecting an end turn of a rotor winding of a generator/motor to a terminal stud. The connector includes a first elongate, radially directed, conductive member attached to the rotor winding and a second elongate conductor member connected to the centralized terminal stud. The first conductive member has an inverted "T" shape with its base tapering from a relatively thick central portion to relatively thin outer portions. The second conductor member has a central "T" shaped portion and two relatively thin peripheral band portions shaped to generally follow the side and lower top surfaces of the central "T" shaped portion. The bands continue in a curved manner toward and join with the relatively thin outer portions of the first conductive member and thus form a flexible connector allowing relative movement between the first and second conductive members. The connector, however, also supports the flexible bands against centrifugal forces present at rotor operating speeds by the inclusion of the "T" shaped portion of the second conductor member which is positioned to form a support cap for the bands.
