Abstract:
1. A modular winding system for an electric machine having a rotor and stator, said stator having a plurality of teeth extending radially there from comprising: a plurality of electrically conductive windings each having an aperture therein shaped to engage a stator tooth, an upper and lower flange separated by an insulating gap, and first and second opposed legs connected at bottom portions thereof, said first leg secured to said upper flange at an upper portion thereof and said second leg secured to said lower flange at an upper portion thereof; wherein said upper flange includes a raised conductive pad on a first side, and said lower flange includes a raised conductive pad on a second side, so that an adjacent pair of windings have either upper flange pads or lower flange pads in contact with each other, thereby providing an electrical current path between adjacent windings; and wherein a predetermined number of said windings are disposed over each of said stator teeth and wherein each of said windings disposed on a stator tooth are in series electrical contact with each other to provide an electrical current path.
