1. A stator winding interface device for use with a stator defining an axial direction, an orthogonal circumferential direction, and a radial direction orthogonal to both the axial and circumferential directions, the stator winding interface device comprising:
a plurality of phase plates each comprising a base section;
a neutral plate comprising a base section; and
a structure configured to maintain the plurality of phase plates and the neutral plate in a rigid orientation;
wherein the base sections of all of the plurality of phase plates are disposed concentrically about the stator in a same plane defined along the orthogonal circumferential and radial directions that is disposed adjacent and parallel to a different plane of the base section of the neutral plate, the different plane offset in the axial direction from the same plane.
