Claims
- 1. In a dynamoelectric machine having a rotor bore conductor extending between a field winding and an exciter/rectifier assembly, a first resilient electrical connection between said bore conductor and said field winding and a second resilient electrical connection between said bore conductor and said exciter/rectifier assembly; said first resilient electrical connection comprising a first receptacle member attached to said field winding, and a first terminal stud extending from said bore conductor, said first terminal stud having at least a first resilient connector band located circumferentially about said first terminal stud, said terminal stud and said at least one connector band telescopingly engaged within said first receptacle member; and said second resilient electrical connection comprising a second receptacle member attached to said bore conductor and a second terminal stud extending from said exciter/rectifier assembly, said second terminal stud having at least a second resilient connector band circumferentially located about said second terminal stud, said second terminal stud and said second resilient connector band telescopingly received within said second receptacle member.
- 2. The dynamoelectric machine of claim 1 wherein each of said first and second resilient connector bands comprises a pair of laterally spaced end strips connected by a plurality of spaced louver elements.
