an electric motor stator has a stator core and a plurality of windings wound around teeth of the stator core . each of the windings has two tooth winding portions with a crossover wire extending therebetween . each of the windings starts from a neutral wire and winds around a first tooth to form a first tooth winding portion and then winds around an opposed tooth to form a second tooth winding portion with the crossover wire extending as a power wire . thus , the second tooth winding portion is started from the power wire . a terminal end of the second tooth winding portion is drawn out and connected to the neutral wire . the stator core has an insulator having support portions for preventing the tooth winding portions from falling outwards . the power wire is held between the tooth winding portion and a slot bottom so as to be fixed .
