Claim:
A stator configured by arranging a plurality of stator cores in an annular manner, each stator core having a stator coil wound around a stator tooth, said stator comprising: a neutral point terminal provided above a coil end of said stator core, at each phase of said stator coil, a neutral point connection bar connecting said neutral point terminals, and a temperature detection element for detecting a temperature of said stator, said temperature detection element arranged so as to be sandwiched between said coil end and said neutral point connection bar, said neutral point terminal having a structure for holding said temperature detection element, said neutral point terminal including a parallel portion that is a portion of the neutral point terminal bent outwards so as to be parallel to a top face of said coil end, and said temperature detection element being arranged so as to be sandwiched between said coil end and said neutral point connection bar, and pass over a top face of said parallel portion.
