The invention relates to a
stator (1) for an
electric machine (101), having a
stator core (20) and a
stator winding (7) which has N strands (U, V, W), wherein: – each strand (U, V, W) is formed by shaped conductors (8, 8a-c) which have leg portions (9, 9a-f) and each form connecting portions (10, 11), on the end faces (4, 5), that connect two of the leg portions (9, 9a-f); – the stator winding (7) forms, for each strand (U, V, W), at least one current path which is formed from a series circuit of a plurality of leg portions (9, 9a-f) and in which a last leg portion (9c) of a first current path portion (15a) and a first leg portion (9d) of a second current path portion (15b) are arranged in a reference position (RL1, RL2, RL3), which is a first position (20a) or an L-th position (20f, 20h) of a relevant groove (6), a last leg portion (9e) of the second current path portion (15b) and a first leg portion (9f) of a third current path portion (15c) are arranged in the other position (20f, 20h), and outer leg portions (9a, 9b) of the at least one current path are arranged in a double position (20a, 20c, 20d) comprising the reference position; – the leg portions (9, 9d, 9e) of the second current path portion (15b) occupy winding regions (23a-h) in a circumferential direction (19a, 19b) as a reference direction (RR1, RR2, RR3), and the leg portions (9, 9b, 9f) of the third current path portion (15c) occupy the winding regions (23a-h) in a circumferential direction (19a, 19b) counter to the reference direction (RR1, RR2, RR3); and – a current path is designed to be a first type (14a) of current path, in which the reference position (RL1) is the first position (20a) and the reference direction (RR1) is the first circumferential direction (19a).
