Generator Design: Stator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The stator is fixed, and consists of sheet metal with grooves that are insulated from each other and pressed together to form a rigid core. The wave-shaped stator windings are carried in the grooves. They are star-or delta-connected, with 120° spacing, and deliver a three-phase alternating voltage to the rectifier.
