Abstract
An end plate for a generator includes an end plate generally cylindrical and having a central bore to receive a rotor shaft. The end plate has a radially inner boss and a radially outer boss. The radially outer boss is positioned radially outwardly of windings in a generator. The radially inner boss is positioned radially inwardly of the windings in a generator. A main core assembly, a rotor, and a generator incorporating the end plates are all disclosed and claimed.
