Rotary electric machine and vehicle provided with the same
A rotary electric machine includes a rotor, a stator, and stator windings. The stator winding has a plurality of slot conductor groups having a plurality of slot conductors of the same phase. A plurality of slot conductors of the slot conductor group are inserted into a predetermined number (Ns) of slots continuously arranged in a circumferential direction of the stator core such that the slot and the layer are adjacent to each other. The predetermined number (Ns) is set to “Ns=NSPP+1,” where “NSPP” denotes the number of slots per pole per phase.
