The present invention relates a stator segment for an electrical machine, comprising a plurality of windings, each winding having a winding starting and ending point, and a stator yoke with a plurality of stator slots for receiving at least one stator winding, said segment having a first side and a second side. At least one winding having its starting point at the first side, and its ending point at the first side of the segment, the at least one winding is received in one or more stator slots. At least one other winding having its starting point at the second side, and its ending point at the second side of the segment, the at least one other winding is received in one or more stator slots.
