Patent ID: 8093777

Claim:
A group of three stator windings for a stator of an electric machine, wherein the stator comprises a first cylindrical surface with a plurality circumferentially spaced winding slots, each winding slot extends along an axial length of the first cylindrical surface and formed to embed a segment of a single stator winding, each stator winding is pre-formed as a closed loop, two substantially parallel segments of each stator winding are formed to be embedded in a first and a second winding slot of the stator, with the second winding slot being the third adjacent winding slot to the first winding slot, each of the three stator windings includes a first winding head segment extending from the winding slots in axial direction of the stator, and the first winding head segment of a first winding of the three stator windings is at least partially rotated and translated about an axis, wherein the planes of the connections of the second and the third stator windings are out of parallel alignment.
