Abstract
A switched reluctance machine includes a stator body having a stator pole. A bobbin is located on the stator pole. A stator winding is disposed on the bobbin. The switched reluctance machine further includes a first housing unit for receiving the stator body and an insulating member coupled to the first housing unit. The insulating member includes a first mounting element for engaging a first end of the bobbin to secure the bobbin against displacement during machine operation.
