Claim Text:
1. An automotive rotary electric machine comprising: a rotor that is disposed inside a casing so as to be fixed to a shaft that is rotatably supported by said casing; a stator comprising: a rectifier that rectifies alternating-current electric power that is generated by said stator winding, said rectifier being fixed to said casing so as to be disposed outside a first axial end of said casing; a voltage regulator that adjusts magnitude of an alternating-current voltage that is generated by said stator, said voltage regulator being disposed outside said first axial end of said casing; a resin protective cover that is formed so as to have a cup shape that is constituted by a bottom portion and a tubular peripheral wall portion, and that is mounted to said casing so as to cover said rectifier and said voltage regulator; a resin harness clamp that fixes electrical wiring; a mounting bolt that is inserted through a penetrating aperture that is formed on said bottom portion of said protective cover and that is fixed to a portion of said casing at said first axial end; and a metal mounting device formed as a separate and distinct component of the automotive rotary electric machine relative to the protective cover, the metal mounting device being fixed to a portion of said mounting bolt that projects out through said penetrating aperture, said harness clamp being held by said metal mounting device.
