Abstract

A modular stator for use in an electric motor. The modular stator includes a plurality of stator sections and a plurality of connectors. The plurality of stator sections have conductors extending therethrough with exposed terminal ends. The connectors have corresponding conductive elements with receptacles for receiving the terminal ends. Thus, a given stator may be assembled to a variety of desired lengths by connecting the appropriate number of modular components.
