Abstract

A biased securement system for end winding conductors of a turbine generator stator has a support ring and a biased wedge system that compresses the end windings in both a radial and circumferential direction. The biased wedge system includes a pair of spacer blocks with confronting angular surfaces and a triangular shaped wedge that is biased towards the support ring by use of a belleville spring washer.
