Patent attributes
There is provided a stator of a rotary electric machine in which the proportion of the cross sectional area of a coil in the cross sectional area of the slot is high, and an electric power loss due to leakage flux can be reduced. The stator is a stator of a rotary electric machine including a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a stator core having multiple slots in a direction parallel to a rotational axis of the rotary electric machine, and a laminated flat-body conductor which is formed, in a press process, by laminating a predetermined number of flat-body conductors each of which has a predetermined shape. According to the predetermined shape, the flat-plate conductor has an open end portion such that the flat-plate conductor can be fitted in the stator core. The laminated flat-body conductor is inserted in the slots of the stator core, and the open end portion of the laminated flat-plate conductor is closed, whereby a coil is formed.
