Claim:
A rotary electric machine, wherein a winding coil formed with a crank-shaped portion without being accompanied with twisting on rough crown portions of both ends in the rotary electric machine, the rotary electric machine comprising: a stator winding including a winding coil created from a conductive wire having a rectangular cross-section and an insulating coated layer, the conductive wire being wound multiple times to form a coil shape, and the winding coil being partially disposed inside a slot of a stator; wherein the crank-shaped portion of the winding coil is formed by shifting a portion of a crown of the winding coil, that has a width size of a broad surface, to a different direction along the broad surface of the winding coil; and wherein width size concerns a broad surface of plural pieces of the winding coil, the broad surface being disposed perpendicular to the superposed side surfaces of the conductive wires that form the winding coil.
