Patent ID: 7911105

Claim:
A stator for a dynamoelectric machine comprising: a stator core, the stator core having a plurality of axial-extending core slots, the core slots extending from a first end of the stator core to a second end of the stator core; a stator winding having a plurality of phases, each phase including one or more filars extending around the stator core forming a plurality of layers; and the one or more filars having a plurality of slot segments disposed in the plurality of core slots, the slot segments alternately connected at the first and second ends of the stator core by a plurality of end loop segments, at least two consecutive slot segments of the one or more filars disposed in substantially the same radial position in their respective core slots relative to each additional slot segments of the plurality of slot segments disposed in the respective core slots, the at least two consecutive slot segments disposed at differing radial distances from a central axis of the stator core.
