Claims19
A generator including a rotor and windings extending circumferentially around the rotor, the generator comprising:
- a first wye ring positioned within the windings, and
- a second wye ring electrically coupled to the first wye ring, the second wye ring being formed of a plurality of metallic layers.
An auxiliary wye ring configured for supplemental attachment to a deployed generator, the generator including a rotor and windings extending circumferentially around the rotor, the auxiliary wye ring comprising connection points for coupling to an original wye ring attached to the deployed generator prior to deployment, the connection points forming electrical connections between the original wye ring and the auxiliary wye ring at points corresponding to each electric phase of power, wherein the auxiliary wye ring is formed of a plurality of metallic layers.
