Abstract
An end winding support for an electric generator includes a pair of winding lead supports formed on opposite sides of a winding slot and separated by an upper slot width. Each of the winding lead supports includes a winding channel routed between a lead coupling port and the winding slot. The winding slot includes a base support and a pair of alignment members that define a transition between the base support and the winding lead supports. A lower slot width is defined along the base support between the alignment members and a ratio of the upper slot width to the lower slot width is between 1.024 and 1.053.
