Stator assembly

A method of assembling a stator assembly for an electric machine, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of stator teeth projecting radially from a circumference of the stator assembly,
• wherein the teeth are spaced azimuthally from each other and extend along a direction parallel to the axis of the stator assembly,
• wherein the azimuthal spacing of the plurality of stator teeth defines a plurality of slots, and
• wherein the plurality of slots extends along a direction parallel to the axis of the stator assembly;
• positioning one or more dividers within the plurality of slots, wherein the dividers define a plurality of cavities;
• and
• inserting a plurality of stator windings into the plurality of cavities, before, during or after the positioning of the one or more dividers,
• wherein the plurality of dividers substantially separates the plurality of stator windings.
