Stator manufacturing and testing method and apparatus

摘要

Stator coils having lead wires inserted into temporary wire clamps at a winding station are electrically tested before the coil lead wires are removed from the temporary clamps. The clamps each include a jaw formed with a wire-engaging surface which scrapes the insulting coating off from a lead wire as it is inserted therein. The clamps are mounted on an electrically insulating support and are electrically connected to terminal members which are engageable by electrical test terminal members.
