Rotary electric machine

1. A rotary electric machine comprising:

a stator comprising:

an annular stator core; and

concentrated winding coils that are mounted to respective teeth of said stator core; and

a rotor,

insulators comprising:

a trunk portion; and

first and second flange portions that are linked to two longitudinal ends of an upper surface of said trunk portion,

respectively being disposed such that longitudinal directions of said trunk portions are oriented in a radial direction of said teeth, and so as to place bottom surfaces of said trunk portions alongside two axial end surfaces of said teeth, and

said concentrated winding coils being configured by winding conductor wires so as to be wound in multiple layers around said teeth so as to pass through a concave space that is formed by said trunk portions and said first and second flange portions at two axial ends of said teeth,

wherein:

said second flange portion of said first and second flange portions is disposed on an end surface of a core back of said stator core; and

a temperature detecting element is installed by being inserted into an element insertion aperture that is formed on said second flange portion so as to be able to detect a temperature of a coil outer layer portion of said concentrated winding coils.
