An electric machine including a rotor and a stator positioned about the rotor. The stator includes a stator core having a plurality of stator teeth and a plurality of stator windings supported by the stator core about the plurality of stator teeth. The plurality of stator windings include a first end turn and a second end turn. The stator includes a plurality of interlocking insulators extending about corresponding ones of the plurality of stator teeth. Each of the plurality of interlocking insulators includes a first base portion extending circumferentially outwardly in a first direction and a second base portion extending circumferentially outwardly in a second direction. The first base portion being configured to inter-engage with a second base portion on an adjacent interlocking insulator to form a coolant passage and a coolant barrier about the air gap.
