Abstract: Since the shape of the insulating paper is complicated, a forming and bending step of the insulating paper is required, and further there is a step of inserting the insulating paper in the middle of coil forming, which causes a problem of damaging the insulating paper. A fitting state of an insulating paper 201 into the inter-coil gap has an annular taper shape in which a diameter dimension D1 of an annular opening of the insulating paper 201 on a coil end tip side is long, and a diameter dimension d2 of an annular opening of the insulating paper 201 on a stator end face side on the opposite side is short. The insulating paper 201 is made to follow the tapered shape of the inter-coil gap 140 between an inner peripheral coil 120 and an outer peripheral coil 130, and the insulating paper 201 is fitted in a state inclined from the coil end tip side to the stator end face side with respect to an axial direction of the stator 20.
