1. A clamping apparatus useful for clamping opposing pair of stator coil windings of a turbine generator, the clamping apparatus comprising:

  • a retaining platform positioned adjacent one side and across a pair of coil windings having a space therebetween and having a bore extending therethrough that is aligned with the space between the pair of coil windings;

    a connecting insert member carried within the bore of the retaining platform and having a threaded through-hole aligned with the space between the pair of coil windings; and

    a threaded rod extending through the space between the pair of coil windings and through the threaded through-hole of the connecting insert member, wherein said threaded rod mates with the threaded through-hole such that the tension created in the threaded rod during tightening biases the retaining platform against the pair of coil windings.
