1. A method of replacing a Wye-ring of a generator with a replacement Wye-ring, the method comprising:
providing the replacement Wye-ring, the replacement Wye-ring comprising in combination, (1) a first arcuate section having an effective radius comprised of one or more strips electrically conductive ribbon, the first arcuate section including first and second ends, (2) a second arcuate section, having the effective radius comprised of one or more strips electrically conductive ribbon, the second arcuate section including, third and fourth ends, and (3) a third arcuate section having the effective radius comprised of one or more strips electrically conductive ribbon, the third arcuate section including fifth and sixth ends;
dismantling the generator to gain access to the Wye ring with the generator being located in situ within the wind turbine;
with the generator being located in situ within the wind turbine, removing most of the annular ring of the Wye-ring but leaving most to substantially all of three radially extending cups in place;
with the generator being located in situ within the wind turbine, installing the replacement Wye ring in the generator including attaching each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth ends to one of the three radially extending cups; and
reassembling the generator with the generator being located in situ within the wind turbine in situ within the wind turbine.
