Abstract
An electric machine includes a stator core defining slots having radial layers that each include adjacent first and second pin positions. Pins are disposed in corresponding ones of the slots and are interconnected to form a winding path. The path occupies the first and second positions of each layer, and, for each of the corresponding slots, the pins are in a same layer.
