Abstract

A method of securing a set of beams of a stationary assembly for a dynamoelectric machine to a pair of opposite end frames thereof. The beams have a pair of opposite ends with a pair of oppositely extending tabs thereon, and the end frames have a pair of sets of aperture extending therethrough with sidewalls of the apertures being sized predeterminately greater than the tabs, respectively. In this method, the tabs on the opposite ends of the beams are located at least in part within the apertures in the opposite end frames, and the tabs are spaced from the sidewalls of the apertures, respectively. At least a part of the opposite end frames at least adjacent the aperture therein, are welded generally simultaneously to at least a part of each tab located in respective ones of the apertures, respectively. A method of assembling a dynamoelectric machine is also disclosed.
