Abstract
A method of forming a stator assembly, including providing a stator with a plurality of slots and a plurality of conductors configured to be inserted into the plurality of slots. The method includes obtaining a respective first shape for the plurality of conductors such that the plurality of conductors in the respective first shape forms concentric arcs sharing a common center. Obtaining the respective first shape includes forming a respective first portion, a respective second portion and a respective turn portion between the respective first portion and respective second portion. The method includes obtaining a respective second shape for the plurality of conductors, including: bending the respective first portion at a respective first bend to obtain a respective first leg and a respective first arm, and bending the respective second portion at a respective second bend to obtain a respective second leg and a respective second arm.
