Isolated bolting connection for a generator

A connector assembly for electrically and mechanically connecting top and bottom stator coil sections of an electrical generator comprising:

• at least one pair of stator coil sections in the electrical generator having spaced apart upper coil headers and lower coil headers, each comprising a conductive material to provide at least two parallel paths for passing respective flows of electric current;
• a first connector connecting a first one of the upper coil headers to a first one of the lower coil header, the first connector comprising a first connecting bar of a conductive material and at least a first pair of couplers that electrically and mechanically connects the first connector to the first one of the upper coil headers and the first one of the lower coil headers at respective ends;
• a second connector connecting a second one of the upper coil headers to a second one of the lower coil header, the second connector comprising a second connecting bar of a conductive material and at least a second pair of couplers that electrically and mechanically connects the second connector to the first one of the upper coil headers and a second one of the lower the lower coil headers, wherein the first and second connectors are electrically and mechanically isolated from one another via an air gap therebetween;
• wherein each of said couplers comprises a fastener for passing through corresponding holes in the respective coil header and the respective connecting bar and a corresponding fastener receiving device, and
• wherein the connecting are mechanically connected bars to the respective coil headers so that none of the couplers bridge the air gap and thereby allow relative movement between the first and second connectors.
