Abstract
A method of inserting a continuous conductor having a rectangular cross-section into slot segments formed in a stator core includes forming a core member having a plurality of slot segments each having an opening and inserting a stator winding having a plurality of phases into select ones of the slot segments. Each of the plurality of phases has at least one conductor including a plurality of substantially straight segments alternately connected by a plurality of end loop segments. A section of the at least one conductor includes three consecutive end loop segments and three consecutive straight segments formed from a single continuous conductor. The method further includes narrowing the opening of each of the plurality of slot segments by forming an annular stator core having a central axis. The three consecutive straight segments are substantially similarly radially spaced from the central axis.
