An electric machine having a stator winding which is impregnated by total immersion. The bar ends of the stator winding have soldering lugs which are insulated from one another and with respect to grounded housing parts. In order to simplify the assembly of the soldering lug insulation and at the same time to improve heat transfer, the soldering lugs are surrounded on all sides by a deformable insulating material with is pervious to impregnating resin. The insulating material is fixed by means of a shrinkable fabric which is likewise pervious to the impregnating resin. The insulation and shrinkable fabric are impregnated and cured at the same time as the winding insulation.

Electric machine with deformable insulation on soldering lugs

With stator windings impregnated by total immersion, the gap formation between main insulation (7) and slot side possibly occurring due to the different expansion of conductor material and insulation material is avoided by several successive impregnation and curing processes being made (at least two), each further curing being performed at a lower temperature level (difference about 20.degree. C.) beginning at approximately the class temperature of the insulation system and the curing being performed with horizontal stator axis, the stator being turned through at least 90.degree. C. before each further process.
