Abstract
A method of making a stator module for use in a stator assembly of an electric machine includes temporarily supporting a plurality of stator segments in a desired orientation using a temporary support. The desired orientation of the stator segments is a relative orientation of the stator segments within the stator module. A mold is placed around the plurality of stator segments and the mold is filled with a potting material to form a stator module such that the potting material supports the stator segments in their desired orientation. The temporary support is removed.
