Abstract
An automotive motor includes a stator and a rotor disposed within the stator. The automotive motor also includes an endplate attached to the rotor that defines a coolant exit hole, an outer edge, and an array of staggered raised flow disruptors disposed radially between the coolant exit hole and outer edge. The array disrupts flow of coolant as the coolant travels from the coolant exit hole along a surface of the endplate toward the outer edge.
