A novel method of manufacture and an improved construction of windings of a stator of an electrical machine are provided, which minimise the axial overhang length of the windings at an end of the stator. The invention further enables the conductor cross-section in the overhang region to be greater than when is passes through the core, which can improve overall electrical efficiency and thermal management in the stator. This is enabled by use of casting methods to cast pre-formed conductors outside of the stator core, and then inserting the cast conductors into slots of the stator core.
