    Abstract: Presented are electric machines with optimized stator tooth geometries and multi-gauge stator conductors, methods for making/using such electric machines, and motor vehicles equipped with such electric machines. An electric machine includes a housing, a rotor assembly rotatably attached to the housing, and a stator assembly coaxial with and separated by an airgap from the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly includes one or more magnets mounted to a rotor core. The stator assembly includes a stator core with multiple axially elongated, circumferentially spaced stator slots, multiple radially aligned stator teeth interleaved between and separating the slots, and multiple electromagnetic windings wound through the slots. Each stator tooth has an elongated tooth body with a tooth head at a radial end of a tooth root, which attaches to a cylindrical hub of the stator core. The tooth head has an axial cross-section with a trapezoidal crown integral with a rectangular tip.

    Abstract: An electric device and a stator assembly for the electric device includes a stator core defining a plurality of slots spaced from each other. The stator assembly includes a plurality of bar conductors disposed in each of the slots and arranged to present a first winding path, a second winding path and a third winding path. A first set of the bar conductors of the first, second and third winding paths are configured to receive current in a parallel circuit arrangement. The stator assembly also includes a plurality of electrical jumpers electrically connected to a predetermined number of the bar conductors such that an amount of current flowing through the first winding path and the third winding path is substantially the same and an amount of current flowing through the second winding path is different from the amount of current flowing through the first and third winding paths.

    Abstract: A stator assembly includes a plurality of stator slots defining multiple slot layers. The assembly includes a plurality of hairpins each having a respective first leg positioned in one of the multiple slot layers and a respective second leg positioned in another of the multiple slot layers. Each hairpin is configured to allow a current to flow from the respective first leg to the respective second leg. The plurality of hairpins is divided into multiple hairpin layers. The hairpins form multiple winding sets, such as first, second, third and fourth winding sets. Each of the winding sets at least partially includes the hairpins from at least two of the multiple hairpin layers. The multiple slot layers may include six slot layers. The multiple hairpin layers may include six hairpin layers. Thus, at least one of the hairpin layers may be “shared” by two winding sets.

    Abstract: A hairpin conductor includes two wire segments each having respective first and second ends and a respective middle region. The segments are disposed in a side-by-side orientation such that their first ends are proximate each other and their second ends are proximate each other. The first ends are welded to each other and the second ends are welded to each other, or the middle regions are welded to each other, thereby providing a welded wire assembly, which is bent such that the two wire segments are bent equally to form the hairpin conductor. The hairpin conductor has a primary bend in the middle regions to form an apex thereat and first and second secondary bends in the two wire segments nearer to the apex than to the first and second ends to form respective first and second shoulders thereat. A method of forming the hairpin conductor is also presented.

    Abstract: A connection support assembly for a stator assembly can be used to secure electrical jumper wires of an electric machine. The connection support assembly includes a support body and a catch protruding from the support body. The catch defines an opening. The connection support assembly further includes a clip coupled to the support body. The clip includes a clip body and a pin protruding from the clip body. The pin extends through the opening of the catch in order to couple the clip to the support body and clamp at least some electrical jumper wires between the support body and the clip.
