ABSTRACT
The stator is usually the outer body (or the inner body in some special cases) of an electric motor to house the driven windings on alaminated steel core for creating arotating magneticŽeld. The stator core is made up of astack of prepunched laminations assembled into amotor housing that is made of aluminum or cast iron or no separate housing designs. The inner surface of the stator is made up of anumber of deep slots or grooves, distributed either uniformly or nonuniformly in the circumferential direction. It is into these slots that the stator windings are positioned. The arrangement of the windings within the stator determines the number of poles that the motor has.
