Connection assembly cover with integrated anti-rotation

A generator having a plurality of rotating components that rectify an alternating current (AC) voltage to a direct current (DC) voltage supplied to main field windings, the generator comprising:

• a rotor shaft having an inner diameter;
• a rectifier assembly located within the inner diameter of the rotor shaft and connected to convert the AC voltage to a rectified DC voltage supplied via a first round contact bus bar that extends axially away from the rectifier assembly and a second round contact bus bar that extends axially away from the rectifier assembly, the rectifier assembly comprising one or more notches;
• and
• a resistor pack assembly located axially adjacent to the rectifier assembly and within the inner diameter of the rotor shaft, wherein the resistor pack assembly receives the DC voltage supplied by the first round contact bus bar and the second round contact bus bar, wherein the resistor pack assembly communicates the DC voltage to a main field winding, and wherein the resistor pack assembly comprises:
• an anti-rotation housing that defines an internal cavity, the housing comprising:
• a first surface on one side of the internal cavity;
• a second surface opposite the first surface and on another side of the internal cavity;
• and
• one or more anti-rotation lugs extending away from the first surface, wherein the one or more anti-rotation lugs engage with the notches of the rectifier assembly.

An anti-rotation housing for use in a resistor pack assembly, the anti-rotation housing comprising:

• a first surface;
• a second surface opposite the first surface;
• an internal cavity defined between the first surface and second surface and configured to receive a resistor pack, the cavity extending from the second surface into the anti-rotation housing towards the first surface;
• and
• one or more anti-rotation lugs extending away from the first surface.
