Low-voltage electric motor rewinds

A "mush-wound stator" refers to a type of stator winding in electric motors where the wire is wound in a somewhat disordered, or "mushy” manner.

In a mush-wound stator, the wire is bundled and pushed into the slots of the stator core, creating a less organized winding pattern compared to form-wound stators where the wires are shaped and fitted into specific slots.

Why it's used:

Cost and Manufacturing Speed: Mush-wound stators are cheaper and faster to manufacture, making them suitable for smaller to medium-sized motors where these factors are important. Geometric Flexibility: The random winding allows for more flexibility in slot shape design, potentially leading to better magnetic flux handling.
