Abstract
A system for supporting conductors in a dynamoelectric machine having a stator assembly with a plurality of stationary armature elements spaced about a circumference positioned radially about a central longitudinal axis, where each armature element includes an armature winding on a base portion and a leg extending from each of the base portions in a radially inward direction, includes a spacer for supporting one or more electrical conductors and for insulating the one or more conductors for an armature element. The spacer is mountable on the armature element and may comprise one or more grooves for supporting one or more interconnecting bars which are capable of connecting the armature windings of two or more armature elements. The spacers may be fastened to the stator assembly and allow the stator assembly to be equipped with conductors which may be oriented in a pattern which minimizes conductor length and minimizes energy losses.
