STATOR, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PREPARING A PRE-SHAPED INSULATOR

The invention relates to a stator (1) which may be used within an electric rotating machine, an apparatus for preparing pre-shaped insulators and a method for preparing a pre-shaped insulator.The stator (1) comprises a stator core (10) which has a plurality of axially extending slots (11) arranged in a circumferential direction (C) of the stator core (10) and at least two conductors (20, 21) arranged along a radial direction (R) of the same slot (11). Each conductor (20, 21) is peripherally wrapped by an individual insulator (30) which extends around the outer circumference (22) of the conductor (20, 21), such that in circumferential direction the insulator (30) comprises a one-layer-section (37) and an overlapping section (31) which extend along the complete axial length (29) of the insulator (30).
