Patent ID: 8344574

Claim:
A stator for an electric rotating machine, the stator comprising: a stator core; and a stator coil mounted on the stator core, the stator coil being formed of a plurality of electric wire segments each of which is comprised of an electric conductor and an insulating coat that covers an outer surface of the electric conductor, wherein the electric wire segments forming the stator coil comprise a joined pair of first and second electric wire segments, each of the first and second electric wire segments has an end portion of a first predetermined length where the electric conductor is not covered by the insulating coat, the end portions of the first and second electric wire segments are joined together, and for each of the first and second electric wire segments, the insulating coat has, at its boundary with the end portion of the electric wire segment, a peeled portion of a second predetermined length which has a distal end peeled from the electric conductor and a proximal end remaining attached to the electric conductor, the proximal end being positioned further from the end portion of the electric wire segment than the distal end is.
