Abstract
A stator and a method of fabricating a stator. In various cases, the stator includes an electromagnetic core comprising a stack of laminations. A dielectric layer can be coupled to one of a first or second lamination of the stack of laminations and a heat transfer layer, different from the dielectric layer, can be coupled to the other of the first lamination and the second lamination. An interface between the first lamination and the second lamination comprises the dielectric layer and the heat transfer layer.
Claims20
A stator comprising:
- an electromagnetic core, wherein the electromagnetic core comprises:
- a stack of laminations comprising:
- a first lamination;
- and
- a second lamination adjacent the first lamination, wherein an interface is formed between the first lamination and the second lamination;
- a dielectric layer coupled to one of the first or second laminations;
- and
- a heat transfer layer, different from the dielectric layer, coupled to the other of the first or second laminations, wherein the interface between the first lamination and the second lamination comprises the dielectric layer and the heat transfer layer.
A method of fabricating a stator comprising:
- forming an electromagnetic core comprising:
- forming or providing a stack of laminations comprising:
- a first lamination;
- and
