Abstract:
1. A stator for a dynamoelectric machine, comprising: a generally cylindrically-shaped stator core having a plurality of circumferentially spaced and axially-extending core slots in a surface thereof, said core slots extending between a first and a second end of said stator core; and a stator winding including at least one layer of continuous conductors having a plurality of phases, each of said phases having a plurality of substantially straight segments disposed in said core slots, said straight segments alternately connected at said first and second ends of said stator core by a plurality of end loop segments, each of said straight segments of said at least one layer being in a same radial distance from a central axis of said stator core, said straight segments and said end lop segments having a substantially equal cross sectional area, wherein said end loop segments form a cascaded winding pattern.
