Abstract:
A process for installing a stator slide under a stator wedge in a radially oriented slot of a stator core assembly comprising:a) loading windings in the radial slot, said radial slot having axially extending dovetail grooves in opposing sidewalls thereof; b) loading at least one stator wedge and stator slide in said dovetail grooves of said slot, and tightening said at least one stator wedge with said stator slide; c) loading at least one additional stator wedge in said dovetail grooves; d) locating at least one additional stator wedge slide relatively loosely under said additional stator wedge; and e) using said at least one stator wedge as a force reaction point, applying a force to said additional stator slide to drive said additional stator slide under said additional stator wedge.
