A stator includes a stator core and a stator coil comprised of a plurality of electric conductor segments mounted on the stator core. Each of the electric conductor segments has an insulating coat-removed portion. Each corresponding pair of the insulating coat-removed portions of the electric conductor segments are joined with a joint formed therebetween. Each of the electric conductor segments also has an oblique portion that is comprised of a first part and a second part. The first and second parts extend, along the circumferential direction of the stator core, obliquely with respect to an axial end face of the stator core respectively at first and second oblique angles theta1 and theta2, where theta2>theta1. The second part is positioned closer to the joint, where the insulating coat-removed portion of the electric conductor segment is jointed to that of another electric conductor segment, than the first part is. |
