A stator for an electric machine includes a stator core defining an axial direction, a first end, and a second end. The stator core includes a plurality of slots formed between a plurality of teeth, wherein each of the plurality of slots extend from the first end to the second end of the stator core and define a slot opening on a radially inward portion of the stator core. A plurality of conductors are positioned in each of the slots and are connected together to form a winding arrangement for the stator. A wedge is positioned in each slot of the stator core radially inward from the plurality of conductors positioned in said slot. The wedge includes a first leg positioned on one side of the slot, a second leg positioned on an opposite side of the slot, and a bridge spanning across the slot opening.
