Fabrication of induction motors

摘要

A method for fabricating a motor component comprises forming a plurality of substantially parallel electrical current conductors and molding magnetic flux conductive material around at least a portion of each of the plurality of electrical current conductors. In one embodiment the motor component comprises a stator, and the step of forming a plurality of slot liners comprises positioning multi-turn wire coils on a mandrel. In another embodiment, the motor component comprises a rotor, and the step of forming the plurality of substantially parallel electrical current conductors comprises fabricating a rotor cage.
