Patent ID: 10749411

Abstract:
A rotary electric machine includes a rotor, a stator which is disposed on an outer circumferential side of the rotor and includes a stator core and a coil, a first cooling mechanism which supplies a coolant to the coil from an outer circumferential side of the stator, and a second cooling mechanism which supplies a coolant to the coil from an inner circumferential side of the stator. The coil includes a plurality of segment cods, each including a pair of leg portions, and a connection portion connecting one end sides of the leg portions. A close-side coil end constituted by the connection portion and an open-side coil end constituted by the lea portions are provided on respective end sides of the stator core. A supply amount of the coolant supplied from the second cooling mechanism is larger to the close-side coil end than to the open-side coil end.
