Abstract
An electrical machine can include a rotor core rotatably coupled to a shaft, and having a set of rotor windings including a termination end extending axially out the core and electrically connected to a terminal. A lead restraint assembly is arranged to rotatably restrain the termination end in a channel.
Claims20
An electrical machine, comprising:
- a drive shaft;
- a rotor assembly rotatably coupled to and circumscribing the drive shaft, the rotor assembly including a rotor core that defines a set of slots, the set of slots being configured to form a set of rotor windings that has a termination end extending axially out as an electrical connection for a terminal;
- and
- a lead restraint, rotatably coupled to the drive shaft, and disposed radially inward from the termination end, the lead restraint defining a radially-extending channel therein, a portion of the termination end being disposed in the radially-extending channel.

An electrical machine, comprising:
- a rotor assembly that comprises a rotor core defining a set of slots, and a set of rotor windings disposed in the set of slots, the set of rotor windings including a termination end for an electrical connection with a terminal;
- a first lead restraint disposed radially inward from the termination end, the first lead restraint defining a radially-extending channel therein, wherein a portion of the termination end is disposed in the radially-extending channel;
- and
- a second lead restraint disposed radially outward from the first lead restraint, the second lead restraint being rotatably coupled to the first lead restraint.
