Abstract
A stator for an electric machine includes a stator core having a plurality of circumferentially-spaced and axially-extending core slots. The core slots extend between a first and a second end of the stator core and a stator winding having a plurality of phases is positioned therein. Each of the phases includes a first pair of conductors connected in parallel and a second pair of conductors connected in parallel, in turn connected to one another in series to define a single phase of the stator winding. The first pair of conductors and the second pair of conductors occupy adjacent slots such that each single phase of the stator winding occupies two adjacent slots within the stator core. Each conductor has a plurality of slot segments housed in the core slots that are alternately connected at the ends of the stator core by a plurality of end loop segments.
