    Abstract: A generator system can include a generator control unit (GCU) configured to control a generator output of a generator. The GCU can be configured to monitor the generator output for overvoltage and attenuate an overvoltage by directing at least a portion of the generator output to a heater element. The GCU can be configured to cause voltage division of the generator output between the GCU and the heater element if an overvoltage is detected to protect one or more GCU electrical components.

    Abstract: A main field connection to connect to a main field winding has a semi-cylindrical portion with an axially thicker outer surface, an axially thinner inner surface, with an aperture. An extending portion extends from the semi-cylindrical portion to a remote extending end. The remote extending end extends for a first axial distance. The axially thicker portion of the semi-cylindrical portion extends for a second axial distance. A ratio of the first axial distance to the second axial distance is between 0.65 and 1.4. A rotating assembly, a generator and a method are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a rotor of an electric motor or an electric generator includes positioning a plurality of amortisseur bars and using additive manufacturing to place electrically conductive material. More specifically, positioning the amortisseur bars may include circumferentially positioning the bars around a rotor stack and using additive manufacturing to place electrically conductive material may include forming a non-solid pattern of electrically conductive material, such as a pattern of electrically conductive traces, across opposite axial ends of the rotor stack to electrically interconnect an amortisseur circuit.
