Coil conductor attachment system and method

Abstract

A coil conductor attachment system includes a termination bar, a coil end receiver barrel extending therefrom, a connector attaching the barrel to the bar, a conductor having a conductor end portion at least partially disposed within the barrel, and a crimped portion of the coil end receiver barrel forming a mechanical and electrical connection with the conductor end portion disposed therein. In another aspect, a method of terminating a coil winding includes providing a termination bar, attaching a coil end receiver barrel to the termination bar, disposing a coil conductor end portion at least partially within the barrel, and crimping a portion of the coil end receiver barrel to form a mechanical and electrical connection with the coil conductor end portion.
