An polyphase machine includes a stator having a plurality of parallel stator windings, a plurality of phase voltage terminals, each of the stator windings fastened to a corresponding phase voltage terminal, and at least one neutral terminal, each of the stator windings forming a common ground fastened to the neutral terminal. At least one of the stator windings is fastened to the corresponding phase voltage terminal or neutral terminal by a connection that does not involve a heat induced joining method. In an exemplary embodiment, the connection includes a lead wire protruding from the stator winding and terminated with a connector, such as a ring lug, fastened to the respective terminal with a mechanical fastener, such as a rivet or threaded rivet. A method for connecting stator windings in a polyphase machine is also provided.
