Patent ID: 8212449

Claim:
A stator for a rotary electric machine comprising: an annular stator core that provides an axial direction along a center axis of the annular stator core, a radial direction radiating out from the axial direction into directions along a plane perpendicular to the axial direction, and a circumferential direction circulating around the axial direction centering on the axial direction, the annular stator core having a plurality of slots punched along the radial direction and arranged in the circumferential direction, each extending in the axial direction; and a stator winding formed by winding a plurality of wire members about the stator core, the wire members each including a conductor portion that has a rectangular cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction, and an insulating coating that covers an outer periphery of the conductor portion, with a plurality of straight portions of the wire members being accommodated and aligned in the radial direction in each slot, wherein: the stator comprises an adhesive member interposed between at least one straight portion among the plurality of straight portions accommodated in each slot and a surface of the slot to adhere the straight portion concerned to the stator core; and the adhesive member has a three-layer structure consisting of an insulating layer and adhesive layers laminated on both surfaces of the insulating layer.
