Patent attributes
A stator coil includes a plurality of flat wire-shaped coil pieces extending in a circumferential direction of a rotary electric machine at a position on an outer side of a stator core in an axial direction of the rotary electric machine. At the position on the outer side of the stator core in the axial direction, a distal end portion of one of the coil pieces, extending in a first direction in the circumferential direction, is joined with a distal end portion of another one of the coil pieces, extending in a second direction in the circumferential direction. The second direction in the circumferential direction is reverse to the first direction in the circumferential direction. An axially outer end face of the distal end portion of each coil piece is a circular arc face that is convex toward the outer side in the axial direction.
