Disclosed is an improved stator for a dynamoelectric machine including a stator core which has a plurality of core slots extending axially from a first end of the stator core to a second end of the stator core. The stator also includes a stator winding having a plurality of phases. Each phase of the stator winding includes at least a first filar. The first filar extends around the stator core and form a plurality of layers and has a plurality of slot segments disposed in the plurality of core slots. The slot segments are alternately connected at the first and second ends of the stator core by a plurality of end loop segments. The slot segments are configured such that at least two consecutive slot segments are disposed in substantially the same radial position relative to additional slot segments of the plurality of slot segments disposed in the respective core slots, and the at least two consecutive slot segments are disposed at differing radial distances from a central axis of the stator core.
