A method of servicing a stator frame of a power generator. The method includes removing a first stator core from a main housing of the stator frame, removing a plurality of first dove-tail shaped keybars that extend axially within and are coupled to a main support structure forming part of the main housing, and installing a plurality of second keybars in the main support structure in place of the first dove-tail shaped keybars. The second keybars are adapted to support a second stator core. Each of the second keybars has a generally rounded engagement surface and the second stator core includes recesses with shapes corresponding to the generally rounded engagement surfaces of the second keybars such that the second stator core can be securely supported in the main support structure by the second keybars.

The invention relates to a method for repairing an electric generator, preferably in a wind turbine generator (WTG), the electric generator (10) having a stator and a rotor (30) rotatably mounted relative to the stator. The method of repairing the electric generator provides a rotor connecting ring (40) with a first conductor assembly and a second conductor assembly in two different planes, each assembly with a plurality of conductive arc segments. Each of the first and the second plurality of conductive arc segments form a ring-like shape in their respective plane, both ring-like shapes being concentrical to the central shaft (132) when the rotor connecting ring is mounted. First electrical connections (50) from the central shaft connect to the rotor connecting ring for the multiple phases (K,L,M). Second electrical connections (60) further connect from the rotor connecting ring to the respective windings of the multiple phases (K,L,M) on the exterior part of the rotor facing the stator. The rotor connecting ring enhances rotational and thermal stability of the electric generator.

An assembly for use in a drive-train of a wind turbine having a transmission, a generator and a module. The module includes a shaft or hub, at least one bearing and a support structure. The shaft of the module or the hub is mounted by the bearing so as to rotate in the support structure. The shaft or the hub can be connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a shaft of the transmission. A rotor of the generator can be fixed to the shaft of the module or to the hub. The support structure can be fixed to a housing of the transmission or the generator. At least one assembly safety device is provided in order to be able to fix the rotor of the generator. When the rotor of the generator is fixed by way of the assembly safety device, the module can be fitted and removed.

A retrofit method for modifying a radial lead seal assembly of a generator and a radial lead seal assembly of a generator are presented. The radial lead seal assembly seals a radial chamber from an axial chamber. The radial lead seal assembly includes sealing elements disposed around a radial lead to seal an annular space between the radial lead and the radial chamber, a coil spring disposed around the radial lead between the sealing elements and a junction between the radial lead and the axial lead, and a nut. The retrofit method includes removing one or more of the sealing elements to define a radial space between the remainder of the sealing elements and the coil spring. Conical springs are inserted in the radial space and only partially compressed under a radially inward compressive load exerted on the radial lead seal assembly via the nut.
