PHASE LEAD CONNECTION FOR PARALLEL PATH ELECTRIC MACHINE

摘要

A stator for an electric machine includes a stator winding located at a stator core. The stator winding has one or more phases, each phase including a single unitary conductor having at least two conductor segments arranged in an electrically parallel relationship. A connection portion is formed in the single unitary conductor between a first conductor segment and a second conductor segment of the at least two conductor segments to connect the conductor to an electrical component.
