1. Motor Stator Construction
The stator of an AC motor consists of a stack of steel laminations that have coils of magnet wire set into slots.
Figure 1 is a representation of a stack of stator laminations showing the slots that receive the coils of wire. A number of coils are distributed among the slots to provide a group of coils that define each pole of the motor. For each pole, there are coils designated for connection to each phase of power.
Figure 1 Motor Stator Lamination Stack
The various electrical conductors that form the motor stator windings must be electrically insulated from each other and from the metal parts of the motor structure. Insulation is required wherever there is a difference of electrical potential between two (2) conductors. Turn-to-turn insulation prevents one (1) turn of a coil from short circuiting to an adjacent turn. Coil-to-coil insulation prevents various series or parallel connected coils from shorting to one another. Phase-to phase insulation separates the coils of one (1) phase from those of an adjacent phase. Winding-to-ground insulation prevents any part of the stator windings from shorting to the stator laminations.
