Abstract
A method of preparing a plurality of bar-wound stator conductors for electrical interconnection includes inserting the plurality of conductors into a stator, twisting a conductor such that a first conductor of a first row is adjacent to a second conductor of a second row; trimming the adjacent first and second conductors to a common length using a trimming device; and grinding the trimmed first and second conductors to a pre-determined surface profile using a rotary cutting tool.
