Abstract
A method of P-forming a conductor having a rectangular cross-section to create a continuous stator winding. The method includes forming a conductor having a rectangular cross-section into a series of first and second substantially parallel segments that meet at a vertex, deforming the conductor such that each of the first and second segments are non-parallel to form a cross-over feature at the vertex, and deforming a section of each of the first and second segments to include corresponding first and second portions that are generally parallel to create the continuous stator winding.
