Abstract: A method and apparatus for winding and placing windings on the magnetic core of a motor without transferring the windings prior to insertion. The method and apparatus include using a single coil winding/injection device having a plurality of gap defining elongate blades arranged in a circular array for use in winding coils and then insertion into a stator core.

Abstract: A terminal connector that protects a plurality of electrical lead terminals during the assembly and transportation stages of a motor assembly and provides an electrical connection for test equipment for testing the motor assembly is described. The terminal connector includes a plurality of electrical contacts extending from a top side of the connector, a plurality of second electrical contacts extending from a bottom side of the connector, and an opening extending through the connector. The plurality of second electrical contacts extend from a cavity that extends into the connector from the bottom side of the connector.

Abstract: A pole cap insulator is used in a field assembly of a motor having a cylindrical motor frame where the field assembly includes a winding having a central opening therein, and a pole member having a base portion with side surfaces and top and bottom surfaces. The pole cap insulator includes a generally rectangular body portion having a back edge disposed proximal the motor frame, and side boundaries disposed opposite each other. The body portion has a radially inwardly facing edge disposed opposite the back edge and tapered tip portions outwardly extending from opposite side boundaries cooperating with the radially inwardly facing edge to form a curved edge corresponding to a curved contour of the pole member.
