Abstract
An electric machine includes a stator core defining slots and a single-layer winding disposed in the core and having first and second parallel paths. Each path includes hairpins interconnected to form a continuous circuit between a terminal and a neutral. The hairpins of the first path include a first type of hairpins each having a first leg, a second leg, a crown connecting between the legs, an outwardly extending twist joined to the first leg, and an inwardly extending twist joined to the second leg, wherein the legs are spaced apart by a span of five slots, and a second type of hairpins each having a first leg, a second leg, a crown connecting between the legs, an inwardly extending twist joined to the first leg, and an outwardly extending twist joined to the second leg, wherein the legs are spaced apart by a span of seven slots.
