Abstract:
A semi-automated method for forming armature coils comprising a plurality of transposed wire pairs the method comprising:joining a plurality of pairs of wires having offset segments along their lengths at a transposition, with each pair having exposed ends and being insulated intermediate its ends, wherein each pair of wires are in contiguous, surface-to-surface engagement with each other along an entire length defining said each pair of wires intermediate its ends; insulating each of said transposed pair of wires intermediate its ends; assembling said plurality of said insulated transposed pairs of wires with said transpositions being staggered to create a pack; of generally uniform cross sectional area along an entire length of said pack intermediate the ends of the pairs of wire consituting the pack; and forming said pack into an armature coil in an automated coil formed machine by bending said pack in two planes.
