End turn layout in an alternator stator assembly

A dynamoelectric machine stator winding having cascaded end loops is adapted to be placed in a plurality of circumferentially spaced axially-extending core slots in a surface of a generally disk-shaped stator core. The core slots extend between a first and a second end of the stator core. The stator includes a plurality of straight segments alternately connected at the first and second ends of the stator core by a plurality of end loop segments to form the winding. The end loops include first and second sloped sides meeting at an apex portion. At least one of the first sloped side and the second sloped side has a body portion offset in a first radial direction. Each of the end loop segments form a cascaded winding pattern.
