1. A radially insertable thermistor assembly for installation into a stator having a plurality of stator windings, the radially insertable thermistor assembly comprising:
a thermistor housing including a sensing portion and a cable outlet portion, the cable outlet portion extending substantially perpendicularly from the sensing portion, the housing having one or more outwardly extending elements that extend through a void defined between a crossing of two adjacent stator windings and being operable to connect to one of the stator and the plurality of stator windings, and a sensing element arranged at the thermistor housing.
