Patent attributes
A stator for a rotating electric machine includes an annular stator core and a stator coil. The stator core has a plurality of slots arranged in a circumferential direction thereof. The stator coil is formed of a plurality of electric conductor segments mounted on the stator core. Each of the electric conductor segments has a pair of in-slot portions and a turn portion. Each of the pair of in-slot portions is inserted in a corresponding one of the slots of the stator core. The turn portion is located on one axial side of the stator core and connects the pair of in-slot portions. Moreover, for each of the electric conductor segments, at least one of the pair of in-slot portions of the electric conductor segment includes a protruding part that protrudes in the circumferential direction of the stator core.
