Patent number: 8471419Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotating electric machine stator that includes connecting members for connecting jumper wires to each other between neighboring magnetic pole coils of the rotating electric machine stator, and its manufacturing method. In a conventional connecting member, its portions to be connected to the jumper wires are figure-U shaped and have openings on the opposite side to a core's end-face where the jumper wires are disposed, so that, in order to insert the jumper wires into the openings, complex drive controls have been required for the connecting portions being figure-U shaped. In order to simplify the drive controls, such connecting portions being made in curved shapes have openings each facing the end-face of a core. It is possible to generally apply the present invention to rotating electric machine stators that obey coil connection specifications.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2008Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Ryuichi Shimomura, Hiroyuki Akita, Takumi Nakaue, Atsushi Sakaue
