The present invention relates an electric rotating machine comprising a
plurality of phase coils each composed of a plurality of partial coils
each made by connecting segments each composed of an inside-slot
conductor portion to be accommodated in each of slots of each of phase
slot groups made in a stator core and an outside-slot conductor portion
protruding from the slot. Of the plurality of partial coils constituting
each of the phase coils, in each of the partial coils to be connected to
an input/output terminal, its inside-slot conductor portion is
accommodated in the slot other than end portions of the phase slot group
in a circumferential direction of the stator core. This reduces the
electric potential difference between the outside-slot conductor portion
continuing thereinto and the outside-slot conductor portion of an
adjacent phase coil, thereby improving the insulating performance.
