Claim 8:
9. An electric motor comprising:
a housing;
a stator disposed within the housing and defining an axial direction, an orthogonal circumferential direction, and a radial direction orthogonal to both the axial and circumferential directions, the stator including:
stator coil windings; and
a stator winding interface device couplable to the stator coil windings, the stator winding interface including:
a plurality of phase plates each comprising a base section;
a neutral plate comprising a base section; and
a structure configured to maintain the plurality of phase plates and the neutral plate in a rigid orientation;
wherein the base sections of all of the plurality of phase plates are disposed concentrically about the stator in a same plane defined along the orthogonal circumferential and radial directions that is disposed adjacent and parallel to a different plane of the base section of the neutral plate, the different plane offset in the axial direction from the same plane; and

a rotor rotatably couplable to the housing and received within a cavity formed by the stator coil windings.
