Abstract
An electric motor system includes a stator and a cover. The stator has windings that are affixed to an end periphery of the stator. The cover is secured to stator and defines a channel and a plenum. The channel extends along the end periphery and is configured to direct cooling fluid about the windings. The plenum extends over at least twenty percent of an outer perimeter of the cover and is configured to direct cooling fluid into the channel.
