A conductor is implemented which is capable of simplifying a winding process on a core and capable of increasing the ratio of the area occupied by a coil regardless of the material of a constituent member and the slot shape. A conductor 4 for a coil of a rotating electrical machine includes: a conductor wire bundle 42 formed by gathering a plurality of conductor wires 41; and a flexible insulating covering material 46 that covers the periphery of the conductor wire bundle 42. The conductor 4 has an intra-covering gap G formed inward of the insulating covering material 46 in a radial direction so that the conductor wires 41 can move relative to each other in the intra-covering gap G, and a cross-sectional shape of the insulating covering material 46 along a perpendicular plane that is perpendicular to an extending direction in which the conductor wire bundle 42 extends can be deformed. |
