Abstract:
A connector assembly (12) for electrically and mechanically connecting via bolting, the top and bottom stator coil sections (14, 16) of an electrical generator comprising at least one pair of stator coil sections (14, 16) having spaced apart upper coil headers (18, 20) and lower coil headers (22, 24), each comprising a conductive material to provide at least two parallel paths for passing respective flows of electric current; first and second connectors (26, 28) including respective couplers (36, 38, 40, 42) for connecting the headers (18, 20, 22, 24), wherein the first and second connectors (26, 28) are electrically and mechanically isolated from one another via an air gap (34) therebetween so that none of the couplers (36, 38, 40, 42) bridge the air gap (34) and thereby allow relative movement between the first and second connectors (26, 28).
