Motor stator having channels used for cooling and method of providing the channels

摘要

An example stator assembly (38) includes a stator core (46) for establishing a core side (90) of a channel (42). A plurality of stator windings (50) are secured relative to portions of the stator core. The plurality of stator windings establish a winding side (86) of the channel. At least a portion of the channel is configured to communicate a cooling fluid from a first axial end (58a) of the stator core to an opposing axial end (58b) of the stator core.
