TM5-6115-593-34NAVFAC P-8-631-34TO-35C2-3-463-2the wire must not exceed 1-1/2 inches (38 mm).End of connection forming pigtail shall be fusionwelded as much as possible with addition of alloy.When coil pole leads and ends consists ofmultiple wires, care must be taken to ensure thateach wire is securely connected. All sharp wireends or spikes of solder remaining on brazedjoints should be trimmed off or flattened down toprevent puncturing of insulation tape.(k)When connectors are used instead of brazingconnections, wire must extend completely throughthe connector. The connector should be locatedas close to the insulated portion of the wire as ispossible. Connectors must be applied using awire crimping tool; crimping is not to be doneusing pliers, hammers, or other makeshiftarrangements.(l)Sleeving must be positioned to cover the coil towhich it is attached to a point at least 1/2 inch (13mm) under two layers of tape. The sleeving atthe coil end must be positioned to provide aminimum of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) creepage pathfrom the coil extension to adjacent coils.(m) All connections in stator winding shall be tapedwith tape per MIL-I-19166. Where tape is wideenough to cover the uninsulated wire and extenda minimum of 1/2 inch (13 mm) over insulatedportion of wire, wrap one layer of tape over theconnection, pressing the two adhesive sidestogether for approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm). Theremaining length of tape should be long enoughto make two or more wraps over the connection.The connection and any uninsulated part of thewires adjacent to the connection will be coveredwith three thickness of tape.(n)Where the tape is not wide enough to providecoverage for the connection, the tape shall bewrapped around the connection such as toprovide 1/2 inch (13 mm) lap plus 1/8 inch (3 mm)(minimum). The overlap is to be such as toprovide a minimum of two layers of tape. Thedouble layer of tape is to extend a minimum of1/2 inch (13 mm) over the insulated portion ofwire.(o)Stator windings will be tied on lead end only. Usea hitch or chain stitch tie. Spacing between ties isnot to exceed 3 inches (76 mm). A tie must bemade over each connection. Tie on either side ofcable bundle will be a double lace. Tie must passthrough space between coils bridged by tapespecified under tie cord bracing ((d) above).(p)End turns on opposite lead side will not be tied.However, the string ties, placed on the individualcoils during coil winding operation, will be11-34
