Abstract
A method of stitching a plurality of interconnect wires on a stator of an electromagnetic machine is disclosed. The stator includes a plurality of discrete and individually wound stator segments having end caps positioned on the segments. The end caps have wire isolation features, including hooks, shelves and ledges, for separating the interconnect wires routed on the stator to electrically interconnect the segments. The method includes routing the interconnect wires between portions of the stator such that portions of the interconnect wires overlap and separating the overlapping portions in an axial direction with the wire isolation elements.
