## CPC

- H02K 3/345: {between conductor and core, e.g. slot insulation}

## Abstract

A stator of a rotating electric machine includes a circular stator lamination stack having stator teeth projecting radially therefrom and distributed over the circumference and axial slots formed between the teeth. The stator carries a winding of an insulated conductor which is designed for the application of a maximum electric voltage in the low-voltage range up to about 1 kV. The winding is constructed as concentric winding in the form of individual tooth coils, and voltage insulating material is provided inside the slots between the teeth and the winding. To reduce the electric field strength in manufacture-induced voids of the varnish-impregnated or resin-impregnated stator, the voltage insulating material comprises an areally shaped layer of a high-resistance conductive material.
