STATOR FOR AN ELECTRIC MACHINE, AND ELECTRIC MACHINE

Stator for an electric machine has a number N≥3 of phases, a number P≥2 of pole pairs and a hole count q=2, and a stator core, which has two faces and a plurality of slots which are divided into first to L-th layers, where L≥4. The shaped conductors form for each phase first to fourth paths and are arranged in 2·P winding zones, and each winding zone is divided into a first and a second sub-winding zone and each sub-winding zone extends over the L layers. The shaped conductors of a respective path are interconnected by connectors, which connect shaped conductors in adjacent winding zones of the same phase in an alternating manner at the first face and the second face of the stator core, to form a series connection with a first end shaped conductor.
