Abstract

A rotating resistor assembly for use in a rotating shaft of an electrical machine can include a first housing configured to contact the rotating shaft and be grounded to the rotating shaft. The first housing can include a first bus bar connection aperture configured to receive a first bus bar. The assembly can include a second housing configured to connect to the first housing. The second housing can be configured to be insulated from the rotating shaft and to be insulated from direct electrical connection with the first housing. The second housing can include a second bus bar connection aperture configured to receive a second bus bar. The assembly can include a suppression resistor disposed between the first housing and the second housing and in electrical communication with the first housing and the second housing to provide an electrical pathway between first housing and the second housing.
