Patent ID: 10050484

Abstract:
A stator includes a stator core having slots arranged in a circumferential direction thereof at a predetermined pitch and a stator coil comprised of phase windings. Each of the phase windings is configured with an electric conductor and an insulating coat covering the electric conductor. Each of the phase windings includes in-slot portions and turn portions connecting the in-slot portions. The turn portions of the phase windings include a plurality of types of turn portions having different circumferential lengths. For each of the phase windings, apex parts of the turn portions of the phase winding are arranged in pairs over the entire circumferential range of the stator coil. The apex parts of each of the pairs axially overlap each other. Each circumferentially-adjacent pair of the apex parts of the turn portions of all the phase windings are circumferentially offset from each other by a distance greater than the predetermined pitch.
