Stranded bar to solidified bar braze method and series loop connection
First Claim
1. A method of forming a stator bar series loop connection comprising:
- a) providing a solidified stator bar and a stranded stator bar;
b) brazing a first side plate adjacent a first end thereof to a first side of an end of said solidified bar;
c) brazing a second side plate adjacent a first end thereof to a second side of said end of said solidified bar;
d) installing said bars into a stator slot so that one of said bars is disposed as a top bar and the other of said bars is disposed as a bottom bar in said slot;
e) disposing the strands of said stranded bar between second ends of said side plates;
f) disposing braze alloy between said side plates and said strands of said stranded bar adjacent second ends of said side plates; and
g) brazing said side plates to said stranded bar, thereby to series connect said stranded bar to said solidified bar.

Abstract
A stator bar series loop connection is provided that is comprised of a solidified stator bar and a stranded stator bar disposed in a stator slot so that one of the bars is disposed as a top bar and the other of the bars is disposed as a bottom bar in the slot. A first side plate is brazed adjacent a first end thereof to a first side of an end of the solidified bar and adjacent a second end thereof to a first side of the stranded bar. Further, a second side plate is brazed adjacent a first end thereof to a second side of the end of the solidified bar and adjacent a second end thereof to a second side of the stranded bar. Accordingly, the stranded bar is series connected to the solidified bar.
