Abstract: A stator having a stator core which has two end sides disclosed. A multiplicity of grooves are configured in the stator core. A stator winding occupies a plurality of winding zones in the grooves, a number of N strands has a number of 2·P poles, and the number of grooves is 2·P·N·q, where q?2. Each winding zone extends across at least q+1 of the grooves, and each winding zone is radially subdivided into first to Lth layers. The layers configure first to (L/2)th double layers, and a number of the double layers is less than the number of the other double layers. Each winding zone in the circumferential direction is subdivided into first to qth sub-winding zones, and a respective phase winding for one of the strands has at least one sub-winding which configures a current path and comprises internal portions that are disposed within the grooves.

Abstract: Drive equipment for an electric vehicle is disclosed with a stator which is configured for generating a magnetic rotating field, a stator core in which a multiplicity of slots disposed in the circumferential direction are configured, and a stator winding which occupies a plurality of winding zones in the slots. Each winding zone in a cross-sectional plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis by way of a centric radial division is sub-divided into a first side and a second side. Converter equipment converts magnetic energy of the rotating field into a rotating output movement of the drive equipment. The converter equipment has a rotor which conjointly with the stator forms a rotating electric machine such that the rotor is able to be set in a rotating rotor movement which, as a function of the rotating field, selectively has one of two opposite rotation directions.

Abstract: A stator for an electric machine includes a stator carrier having a plurality of grooves with a respective groove base, and a motor winding having at least one first strand. A predetermined number of first grooves of the plurality of grooves is associated with the first strand. At least one coil section of the first strand is introduced into each of the first grooves. The first strand has a plurality of individual wires connected electrically in parallel, with each wire formed as a round wire. At least some of the individual wires in each of the coil sections are arranged above one another in a radial direction of the stator. The coil sections are each arranged in the first grooves in such a way that an average radial distance of the individual wires to the groove base is equal for all individual wires.
