Abstract

A stator includes a first through a third windings, and a first and a second interphase insulators. The first interphase insulator has a first pair of strip-shaped insulating sheets and a first connecting portion. End portions of the insulating sheets are connected to the respective opposite end portions to form joints. The first connecting portion connects the insulating sheets so that the joints are shifted so as to be disposed in a region avoiding an interference with the first winding on both of a lead-extending side and the opposite side. In the second interphase insulator similarly constructed, a second connecting portion connects a second pair of the strip-shaped insulating sheets so that joints are shifted so as to be disposed in a region avoiding an interference with the third winding on both of the lead-extending side and the opposite side.

Dependent claims

A stator having a stator core with a plurality of slots, the stator having a lead-extending side and the opposite side, the stator comprising:

a first winding inserted firstly into the slots corresponding to the first winding;
a second winding inserted secondly into the slots corresponding to the second winding;
a third winding inserted thirdly into the slots corresponding to the third winding;
wherein the first, the second and the third windings are arranged in the circumferential direction of the stator in wave winding form;
a first interphase insulator having a first pair of strip-shaped insulating sheets and a first connecting portion, wherein the first pair of the strip-shaped insulating sheets is connected with the first connecting portion so as to be spaced apart with each other at a predetermined distance;
a second interphase insulator having a second pair of strip-shaped insulating sheets and a second connecting portion, wherein the second pair of the strip-shaped insulating sheets is connected with the second connecting portion so as to be spaced apart with each other at a predetermined distance;
wherein end portions of the first pair of the strip-shaped insulating sheets are connected to the respective opposite end portions to form a first joint and a second joint, wherein the first connecting portion connects the first pair of the strip-shaped insulating sheets in such a manner that the first joint is shifted in the clockwise direction of the stator from the second joint so that the first and the second joints are disposed in a region avoiding an interference with the first winding on both of the lead-extending side and the opposite side;
wherein end portions of the second pair of the strip-shaped insulating sheets are connected to the respective opposite end portions to form a third joint and a fourth joint, wherein the second connecting portion connects the second pair of the strip-shaped insulating sheets in such a manner that the third joint is shifted in the clockwise direction of the stator from the fourth joint so that the third and the fourth joints are disposed in a region avoiding an interference with the third winding on both of the lead-extending side and the opposite side.
