Abstract:
1. A stator for a vehicular rotary electric machine, comprising: a stator core having a plurality of slots; and a multi-phase stator winding constructed of a plurality of electrical conductors connected together, said electrical conductors being accommodated radially side-by-side within said slots and electrically insulated from each other, and having conductor ends extending to an outside of said slots and being bonded together to form a coil end, wherein a first electrical conductor at said coil end has a twisted portion and is arranged to be mounted in said stator core to intersect a second electrical conductor at at least one point along the twisted portion, the second electrical conductor adjoining the first electrical conductor in a radial direction, and a side face of the first electrical conductor defines a radial indentation opposite to the second electrical conductor at any intersection points, the side face of the first electrical conductor and the side face of the second electrical conductor face each other in a skewed fashion at said intersecting point, the radial indentation being provided in said skewed opposing side face of the first electrical conductor.
