Abstract
Electric motor stators can have coils wound on their poles which coils have more turns than the poles could normally support by augmenting the pole with additional structures to support the added coil turns. The additional structures can be only temporarily associated with the stator, e.g., by adding them to the winding shrouds which are customarily applied to the stator during winding. Alternatively these additional structures can be permanent but non-magnetic portion of the stator, e.g., by adding them to the terminal board members of the stator.
Claims7
A method of winding a coil of wire on a pole of a stator, said pole having a predetermined width transverse to the longitudinal axis of the stator and adjacent the radially innermost portion of said pole such that said pole can support only up to a predetermined number of turns of wire wound on said pole, said coil having substantially more than said predetermined number of turns of wire, said method comprising the steps of:
- applying at least one member to said stator to temporarily effectively increase said width of said pole;
- winding said coil on said pole while said width of said pole is effectively increased;
- and
- removing said at least one member from said stator.
