Winding an electric motor's stator
I need to get an opinion from you experts for a pattern / way to do the winding. Everytime I tried it seems like there is no space to wind around the slot. I tried winding single wire by wire. Please help. The winding need to be done as 8 strands in hand and 7 turns per slot.- damzi
