Abstract:
A rotating electrical machine having an outer housing in which a stator is affixed, a rotor journaled within said outer housing and cooperating with said stator, said stator being formed by a plurality of armatures having poles and surrounding armatures windings each having a respective pair of terminal ends, a terminal plate affixed within said outer housing on at least one side of said armature assembly, said terminal plate comprising an insulating plate having conductive terminals affixed to opposite sides thereof, one of said conductive terminals being formed with a notch in an oilier peripheral edge thereof that is aligned with a corresponding notch formed in an outer peripheral edge of said insulating plate for receiving one of said respective terminal ends of said armature windings for facilitating a soldered connection therebetween, the other of said conductive terminals having a plurality of notches formed in an outer peripheral edge and which is aligned with a corresponding notch formed in an outer peripheral edge of said insulating plate, each of said plurality of notches of the other of said conductive terminals providing a common electrical connection to the other of the terminal ends of said armature windings, and each of said conductive terminals providing a respective electrical connection to which main power connection cables are electrically connected.
