Patent ID: 7391138

Claim:
An electric rotating machine comprising: a stator core including a plurality of phase slot groups, each slot group composed of a plurality of adjacent slots for a each phase and made along an inner surface of said stator core in its circumferential directions; a stator coil including a plurality of phase coils, each phase coil made by connecting a plurality of segments, the segments each composed of an inside-slot conductor portion to be accommodated in one of said slots and an outside-slot conductor portion protruding from said one of said slots: and an external leading terminal connected to one of said segments, said external leading terminal being an input/output terminal of said machine, wherein a specified slot accommodates a specified one of said inside-slot conductor portions connected to said external leading terminal and in a specified slot group, said specified slot is assigned to a slot excluding an adjoining slot to one of said slot groups different from said specified slot group in phase, and an insulating member is interposed between said outside-slot portions adjacent to each other in a radial direction of said stator core.
