Patent number: 9425665Abstract: In a stator and a rotating electric machine equipped with this stator, the insulation properties of a coil are ensured by suppressing lead wire stress generated during a stator assembly process. The stator has a stator core, a coil wound around the stator core, lead wires led out from the coil, and power lines provided between the lead wires and a connection terminal of an external circuit. The lead wires and the power lines are electrically connected with each other through an elastically deformable elastic bus bar. Even if a shift occurs in the relative position between the coil and the connection terminal during the assembly process of the stator, this configuration allows the elastic bus bar to absorb the shift and makes it possible to suppress the stress generated on the lead wires.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2010Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuhiro Goto, Yosuke Kurono, Tatsuhiko Mizutani, Kazuya Onuki
