The electric motor core member further includes a plurality of wall members provided on the main body. Each of the plurality of wall members projects outwardly from the outer arcuate surface and is arranged in a spaced relationship to define a plurality of conductor isolation channels. Each of the plurality of conductor isolation channels is adapted to receive one of a plurality of conductors with the plurality of wall members providing electrical isolation between adjacent ones of the plurality of conductors.

  • Publication number: 20100060100
    Abstract: Provided is a crossover module, which can facilitate the process of manufacturing a stator. The crossover module (20) is a module having crossovers (23) for connecting such coils (13) electrically with each other as are mounted on a stator core (11) of a motor (100). The crossover module (20) is constituted such that its shape can be changed between a shape, in which it is mounted on the stator core (11), and a shape, in which it is opened to the outer sides from the former shape.

  • Publication number: 20090195115
    Abstract: A stator component whose composition and processing enable the component to axially compress magnetic sheets of a stator and also inhibit joule heating of the component to the extent that the need for a separate flux shield can be eliminated. The component is formed of a ductile iron alloy containing, by weight, about 3.25 to about 3.40% carbon, about 3.70 to about 3.80% silicon, about 4.50 to about 4.70% nickel, up to about 0.20% manganese, up to about 0.06% magnesium, less than 0.02% phosphorus, less than 0.02% sulfur, with the balance being iron and incidental impurities. Following heat treatment, the component exhibits properties that inhibit joule heating of the component by eddy currents induced by alternating magnetic fields of the stator.
