AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing distributed winding arrangements in electric motors, particularly those using hairpin conductors, suffer from inefficient use of conductor material due to large and numerous layer jumps, leading to increased ohmic losses and space requirements.

Method used

A stator winding arrangement with a distributed design where conductor strands are wound on multiple teeth, using hairpin conductors with specific slot pitches and layer jumps only between adjacent poles, minimizing intersecting conductor tracks and optimizing layer jump sections for compactness and symmetry.

Benefits of technology

This design reduces conductor material waste, minimizes ohmic losses, and optimizes space usage by ensuring compact and symmetrical layer jumps, enhancing the efficiency and compactness of the winding arrangement.
