Alternator

摘要

An alternator is capable of preventing a short circuit at a coil end, improving an ability of cooling a stator winding assembly, and reducing noises. A multi-phase stator winding of the alternator has: a plurality of joint portions where a distal end extending in an axial direction of a first conductor portion drawn out from a first layer in a slot and a distal end extending in an axial direction of a second conductor portion drawn out from a second layer in a slot located a predetermined number of slots apart in a circumferential direction are connected outside the slot on an end surface side of the stator core; and a coil end where the joint portions are disposed in a plurality of rows in the circumferential direction. The joint portions are set apart by half a slot from a diametrical line in a circumferential direction.
