Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide an electric machine module. The module can include a housing, which can define a machine cavity. In some embodiments, an electric machine can be positioned within the machine cavity. In some embodiments, the electric machine can include a stator assembly including potted stator end turns. An end turn member can be positioned within the machine cavity and can include a radially inward flange and a radially outward flange axially extending from a central region. The end turn member is configured and arranged so that the flanges are substantially adjacent the stator end turns. The end turn member can include at least one second member aperture disposed through a portion of the central region.
