  • Patent number: 12334788
    Abstract: An electric machine includes a stator winding in a stator having a winding end. A jumper has a main base end that is connected to the winding end. A first terminal branch of the jumper has a first terminal for connecting the stator electrically to a first load. A second terminal branch of the jumper has a second terminal for connecting the stator electrically to a second load. A first electrical conduction path is defined from the winding end, through the jumper to the first terminal branch to the first terminal. A second electrical conduction path is defined from the winding end, through the jumper to the second terminal branch to the second terminal. The first electrical conduction path has an electrical resistance substantially equal to that of the second electrical conduction path for electrical load balancing from the winding end to the first and second terminals.

  • Publication number: 20240313623
    Abstract: An electric machine rotor includes a rotor body configured to rotate about a rotation axis. A winding includes a plurality of end winding portions extending circumferentially over an axial end of the pole core. An anchor is woven into the end winding portions to inhibit movement of the end winding portions relative to the pole core. The anchor includes a first portion extending radially outward along a first row of the end winding portions. A second portion of the anchor extends axially from the first row, beyond a second row of the end winding portions to a third row of the end winding portions. A third portion of the anchor extends radially along the third row. A fourth portion extends axially between two of the end windings in the third row. A fifth portion of the anchor extends radially inward between the second row and the third row.

  • Patent number: 11569594
    Abstract: A terminal assembly includes a terminal block of a dielectric material defining a plurality of bores therethrough. A respective terminal contact of an electrically conductive material is seated in each of the respective bores. The terminal contact defines a longitudinal axis therethrough with a terminal bore defined through the terminal contact along the longitudinal axis. A divider wall separates the terminal bore into a solder cup for a lead wire on an interior side of the terminal bore, and a lug receptacle on an exterior side of the terminal bore.
