Abstract:
An apparatus adapted to form a conductive path for carrying an electric current in a generator, the apparatus comprising:an electrically conductive axial lead having a first end and a second end, and forming a portion of the conductive path; an electrically conductive strap having a first end and a second end, and forming a portion of the conductive path; an electrically conductive radial lead having a first end and a second end, the radial lead forming a portion of the conductive path and coupled to the axial lead and to the strap, the radial lead not being supported by a blower hub wedge portion of the generator, and an electrically conductive intermediary having a generally semicircular configuration and a first end and a second end with a tapered threaded hole positioned therebetween, one end of the intermediary adapted to attach to a flexible connector and the other end of the intermediary adapted to attach to the radial lead, wherein the intermediary is attached to the flexible connector by at least one bolt that extends through at least a portion of the intermediary and at least a portion of the flexible connector.
