Quadrature winding retention in a dynamoelectric machine

摘要

A dynamoelectric machine having a wire retaining means is constructed to frictionally retain the quadrature winding (29) to enable automated winding of the quadrature winding. The wire retaining means comprises stator end caps (31) having integrally formed wire retention means (43) at the radially inner end of the stator tooth(37). The wire retaining means frictionally hold the wire (29) in place as the quadrature winding is automatically wound about the stator. In addition, the stator end caps electrically insulate the quadrature winding from the stator (27) and main winding (41). <IMAGE>
