Abstract
A bar wound stator includes a stator core defining a plurality of slots. Bar-type conductors are disposed within each slot. Each slot includes a slot liner and an insulator cap. Each slot liner includes an end portion disposed against an inner wall surface, and side portions disposed against a first wall surface and a second wall surface respectively. Each insulator cap includes a base portion disposed against an outer wall surface, and side portions disposed against the first wall surface and the second wall surface respectively. The side portions of the insulator cap in each slot overlap the side portions of the slot liner in each slot along the first wall surface and the second wall surface respectively. Each slot includes a recessed feature in each of the first wall surface and the second wall surface to accommodate the overlapping side portions of the insulator cap and the slot liner.
