Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide an electric machine module including a housing. The housing can include a machine cavity. In some embodiments, an electric machine can be at least partially positioned within the machine cavity and can include a stator assembly. The stator assembly includes a stator core with slots. In some embodiments, conductors can be positioned in the slots. The conductors include a turn portion extending between leg portions. The leg portions include an angled portion and a connection portion. The conductors are disposed within the plurality of slots so that the angled and connection portions extend from the stator core at a first axial side. At least one insulation member can be disposed over at least some of the leg portions so that the connection portions are at least partially uncovered.
