Classification: CPC F  H | IPC F  H

Claim 1:
2. The electric drive apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein
the stator coil is comprised of a plurality of phase windings,
each of the phase windings has a plurality of turn portions formed by bending and a plurality of joints at each of which sections of the phase winding are joined together,
the turn portions are included in the first coil end part of the stator coil and the joints are included in the second coil end part of the stator coil,
for each of the phase windings of the stator coil, the sections of the phase winding are respectively formed of electrical conductor segments,
each of the electrical conductor segments is substantially U-shaped to have a pair of straight portions extending parallel to each other and one of the turn portions which extends, on the second axial side of the stator core to the transmission, to connect the pair of straight portions, and
each corresponding pair of distal end portions of the electrical conductor segments are joined together at one of the joints on the first axial side of the stator core as the transmission.
