20200366148 · 2020-11-19 ·

A stator for an electric alternating current machine includes a stator winding arranged about a central axis and including conductor windings. The conductor windings are grouped to form electrical phases. The stator winding has winding layers. The conductor windings of a phase each have axially oriented conductor limbs that are connected to one another in two axial end regions in pairs by two winding heads. Individual coils are thus formed for each phase. As viewed in a circumferential direction, the axial conductor limbs of the individual phases follow one another in alternation in a uniform order. The winding heads of a given individual coil extend within a winding layer. A sequence of the axial conductor limbs of the respective phases and the distribution of the individual coils on the individual winding layers are chosen to avoid crossovers within the individual winding layers in the region of the winding heads.
