Coil support assembly having coil support structures joined together via respective joint structures and methods of assembling same

Abstract

A method of assembling a coil support assembly for an electrical machine is provided. The method includes providing a plurality of coil support structures, each of the plurality of coil support structures having a first face defining a cavity and opposing sides each defining a joint component, the joint components being one of a male joint component or a female joint component. The method also includes arranging a conducting coil within the cavity of each of the plurality of coil support structures. The method also includes arranging the plurality of coil support structures together in a generally circumferential arrangement. The method also includes securing the plurality of coil support structures together via the male and female joint components of adjacent coil support structures of the plurality of coil support structures to form the coil support assembly.
