Abstract
A wedge for a wound rotor includes a wedge body. The wedge body has a first layer and one or more second layers interfused with one another to provide structural support and limit resistive heating of the wedge from current flow within the wedge body by windings spaced apart by the rotor wedge. Generator rotors and methods of making generator rotors are also described.
