Abstract: There is provided a stator for a rotary electric machine including a stator core including a plurality of teeth arranged along a circumferential direction and a plurality of slots formed between the teeth adjacent to each other, and multi-phase coils in which windings of different phases are respectively wound around the teeth by distributed winding. Each of the slots is provided therein with a plurality of windings forming the coils. The plurality of windings of the different phases are arranged to be overlapped in the circumferential direction in at least a part of the plurality of slots.

Abstract: An electric motor driven by three-phase electric power includes armature windings that are connected in series, via an armature-winding connecting line, for each of a plurality of groups of three or N circumferentially-adjoining poles to thereby provide three-phase armature windings, wherein N is an arbitrary number equal to a multiple of three. The armature-winding connecting line connects in series the adjoining armature windings in such a way as to not substantially straddle a relatively great part of the outer periphery of any of the adjoining armature windings.

Abstract: Coil windings are provided on each predetermined pair of adjoining tooth portions in a 8-like configuration by: winding a lead wire around one of the tooth portions a predetermined number of times, starting from a point adjacent to one side portion of a teeth-adjoining region; then winding the lead wire around the other tooth portion the same number of times, starting from a point adjacent to the other side portion of the teeth-adjoining region opposite from the one side portion; and terminating the winding of the lead wire at a point adjacent to the teeth-adjoining region.
