LUBRICANT CHANNEL ON A STATOR WINDING SUPPORT

摘要

A stator for a generator includes a core having a back iron 38 that is annular in shape and poles 64 that extend inward from the back iron, a hoop having an annular shape that is radially inward from the back iron, and a plurality of winding supports 42 surrounding the poles. Each winding support includes a tooth 44 extending radially inward from the hoop and surrounding a corresponding pole with the tooth having a first end adjacent to the hoop and a second end radially inward from the first end and a first channel on a first axial side of the tooth extending from the second end to the first end. The stator also includes a plurality of windings 41 with each winding wrapped around a corresponding tooth so that each winding is spaced from the tooth at the first channel.
