First Claim
1. The combination with a high-output three-phase turbo-generator the housing of which is filled with a non-combustible and non-oxidizing gas at a pressure level exceeding atmospheric and wherein the rotor conductors and the stator conductors are cooled by circulation of a liquid coolant, of a stator conductor terminal assembly for electrically leading out the phase windings from the coil heads, said conductor terminal assembly comprising a metallic plate extending longitudinally of and below said turbo-generator housing, elastic supports securing said metallic plate to the underside of said turbo-generator housing, a pair of parallel spaced vertically arranged plates secured to the underside of said metallic plate, three tubular lead-off conductors insulated throughout their entire length against the full voltage of said stator windings, said lead-off conductors being connected respectively at one end to one end of the corresponding phase winding and which extend from the latter in a first section directed vertically downward, thence in a second section directed horizontally for different distances through the space between said pair of vertically arranged plates and thence in a third section directed vertically downward, individual shielding for the third section of each of said lead-off conductors in the form of a metallic box-like enclosure and through which said third section extends, a star-like arrangement of insulators in each box-like enclosure supporting said third section, a current transformer surrounding said third section within said box-like enclosure, the lower end of said third section extending outwardly through the bottom open end of said box-like enclosure and being connected to a terminal which is in turn connected to an outgoing phase line, and a tubular metallic shielding surrounding each of said phase lines.

Abstract
A stator conductor terminal assembly is located at the underside of the housing of a three-phase turbo-generator for leading out the phase windings from the stator coil head. The assembly includes three fully insulated liquid-cooled tubular lead-off conductors connected respectively to the phase windings and each such conductor includes a first section directed vertically downward, a second section directed horizontally for different distances and a third section also directed vertically downward and which is shielded in a metallic box-like enclosure. A current transformer surrounds the third section of the conductor within the box-like enclosure and the lower end of the third section which passes through the open bottom of the enclosure is connected to a terminal which latter is connected to an outgoing phase line. Metallic tubular shielding surrounds each phase line and this shielding is connected by way of electrically conductive bellows to the box-like enclosure. The three box-like enclosures are mounted side-by-side by means of bolted-together flanges and interfacing side walls of the enclosures are open to permit circulation of an air coolant therebetween and include arc barriers to prevent multi-phase short-circuits.
