Abstract
The invention relates to a drive unit for a vehicle and an electric motor that is suitable therefore, comprising a rotor and a stator (1) which is formed by a sheet metal pack (2) and is provided with grooves, at least one winding (3a) being disposed in said grooves (3). The electric motor is penetrated by cooling air. In order to keep production costs low and obtain thermal class 200, the winding (3a) is formed from round wires (7) that are provided with an insulation (12) while the coil heads (4) are embedded in a temperature-resistant elastic material (4a) so as to be protected against external influences.

(canceled)
The electric motor of claim 10, wherein the temperature-resistant elastic material is a silicone rubber.
The electric motor claim 10, wherein the stator is constructed with cooling bores through which the cooling air flows.
The electric motor claim 10, further comprising a motor housing, said stator being connected to the motor housing by webs, with the cooling air flowing between the motor housing and the stator.
The electric motor claim 10, wherein the grooves are lined with a groove side insulation formed from a material containing mica.
The electric motor claim 10, wherein the insulation of the round wires includes at least one high-temperature thermoplast applied by extrusion.
The electric motor claim 10, wherein the insulation of the round wires includes at least one layer of polyimide film.
(canceled)
An electric motor for a drive of a vehicle, comprising:
- a rotor;
- a stator formed from a laminated core and provided with grooves for arrangement of at least one winding ending in winding heads;
- and
- a cooling system for circulating cooling air through the electric motor,
- wherein the winding is formed from round wires which are each embraced by an insulation, and the winding heads are embedded in a temperature-resistant elastic material for protection against external influences, so that the electric motor satisfies at least the requirements of thermal class 200.
A drive, in particular for a vehicle, comprising an electric motor which includes a rotor, a stator formed from a laminated core and provided with grooves for arrangement of at least one winding ending in winding heads, and a cooling system for circulating cooling air through the electric motor, wherein the winding is formed from round wires which are each embraced by an insulation, and the winding heads are embedded in a temperature-resistant elastic material for protection against external influences, so that the electric motor satisfies at least the requirements of thermal class 200.
