Abstract
A method of designing and manufacturing an electrical generator which has a specific target power output rating includes the steps of selecting one of a predetermined, standardized set of diameters for the rotor, stator and frame of the generator; and subsequently selecting the length of the generator stator core and one of several standardized number of stator coil slots based on the target power rating and voltage of the generator. The invention permits standardized generator components which are specific to the selected set of diameters to be used during assembly of the generator, instead of customized components, which results in reduced design and manufacturing costs per generator.
