Abstract
Abstract Single body of insulation for insulating one or more external lead wire connections in an area of end turn region having a paucity of end turns. Insulator may be used to anchor lead wires and may be fabricated of a sheet insulating material, for example by employing seam welding process. Insulator material defines a plurality of axially extending insulating compartments that receive external lead wires and winding tap wires. Each compartment is laterally separated from at least one adjacent compartment by at least one layer of insulating material. Insulator may comprise a plurality of independent tubular sleeves held together by a common exterior tubular sleeve. Insulator may include plurality of insulating compartments that are defined by a single or common sheet of insulating material.
