Abstract

An oil cooled generator may have stator windings with first portions in contact with a stator core and second non-contact portions. One or more nozzles may be configured to provide a spray pattern of oil which impinges on the non-contact portions even though the nozzles may have orifices oriented so that the lines projected in alignment with longitudinal axes of the orifices do not intersect the non-contact portions of the stator windings.
