1. A generator assembly comprising:
a generator;
a generator case surrounding the generator and defining a plurality of case apertures circumferentially spaced apart from each other;
an output lead that carries power generated by the generator away from a stator of the generator;
and wherein each of the plurality of case apertures comprises:
a first connector electrically connected to the output lead;
an inner dielectric mount that surrounds the first connector and is disposed within the case aperture;
an outer dielectric mount connected to the inner dielectric mount to define an overlapping portion where the outer and inner dielectric mounts overlap each other;
a second connector contained in and surrounded by the outer dielectric mount, wherein the outer dielectric mount is configured to connect the output leads to one of a plurality of feeder cables via the first and second connectors;
wherein each of the inner and outer dielectric mounts within one of the case apertures defines a respective one of a plurality of dielectric mount pairs; and wherein at least one of the dielectric mount pairs comprises:
a first elastomeric moisture seal located between the inner and outer dielectric mounts at the overlapping portion; and
a second elastomeric moisture seal located between the second connector and an inner surface of the outer dielectric mount.
