Abstract: An electromechanical machine includes a stator fixed with respect to a housing structure and a rotor fixed with respect to a driven shaft. The stator includes a magnetically permeable core having a plurality of parallel winding slots containing conductive windings. Coilheads are located at opposite axial ends of the magnetically permeable core where the windings turn to extend down a parallel winding slot. The motor is equipped with an electrostatic shield arrangement to reduce capacitive coupling between the stator and rotor during operation. The shield arrangement comprises a grounded conductive layer separated from the conductive windings of the stator by an insulative layer of cured resin material. Preferably, the conductive layer may be formed of a conductive paint.

Abstract: A technique for forming stator coils for an electric motor is disclosed. The technique includes forming D-shaped or generally trapezoidal coils having a closed loop defining a long side and a short side joined by end portions. The coils are installed in a stator core having a plurality of slots formed around its inner periphery. The long sides of the coils are disposed in a predetermined position within these slots, such as in a lower position, while the short sides are disposed in opposite positions, such as in upper positions. The long sides extend beyond the short sides at end regions of the stator core. The end portions of each coil wrap around the ends of the stator core and incline from the long side of the respective coil to the short side thereof. Crossing points are established between the long side of each coil and end portions of adjacent coils.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for coating an electromagnetic coil, particularly stator coils for an electric motor, with an insulating catalyzed resin material. The catalyzed resin material is a two component material comprising an epoxy resin and a catalyst. The catalyzed resin material is a free flowing liquid at a first temperature and begins to cure rapidly at a second elevated temperature. The stator coils are first heated by supplying current to the stator coils to raise the temperature of the stator coils to the first temperature. The free flowing liquid catalyzed resin material is dispensed through nozzles onto the stator coils as the stator coils and the nozzles move relative to each other. After the liquid catalyzed resin material has been dispensed in a predetermined amount, at predetermined locations, for predetermined times, the catalyzed resin material is allowed to penetrate the stator coils.
