An electric motor is disclosed including heat spikes (36) within the stator slots (34). The heat spike (36) extend radially inward from the stator back iron into the slot (34) between the stator teeth (32). The heat spikes (36) placed within the stator slots reduce the heat path length and increases the heat transfer areas to the iron. Together, these allow the winding heat to dissipate quicker and, at the same time, reduce the winding hot spot temperature and improve the motor's load rating. <IMAGE> |
