Abstract: An electric motor includes a stator assembly. The stator assembly includes a stator body and a generally toroidal stator ring. The stator body includes a core and a plurality of electrically conductive wires wound about the core. Each of the electrically conductive wires includes a first wire end projecting from the stator body at a predetermined first wire end location. The stator ring defines a plurality of arcuately spaced apart first terminal pockets, each configured to receive a wire-connecting terminal. The stator ring is oriented relative to the stator body such that the first terminal pockets are disposed in predetermined first terminal pocket positions correlating to the predetermined first wire end locations. Each of the first wire ends extends into a respective one of the first terminal pockets.

Abstract: A spacing-assured gas discharge tube assembly is installed on a printed circuit board, which may be part of a motor controller. The discharge tube assembly includes a tube body and an electrostatic spacing shield disposed at least partially around the tube body. The shield is configured to prevent close physical proximity of adjacent structures having electrostatic fields that may alter the breakdown voltage of the tube body.
