<p>It is an object of this invention to provide a compact high-power alternator for a vehicle. It is another object of this invention to provide a low-noise alternator for a vehicle which outputs an increased power during operation at a low rotational speed. An alternator 1 for a vehicle includes a stator 2 having inner circumferential surfaces formed with many slots having open ends 35. Teeth ends of the stator between the slots have magnetic-flux collecting projections 36 extending in circumferential directions. The magnetic-flux collecting projections 36 are previously formed by, for example, a pressing process during a stage in which they are thin steel plates. An electric conductor forming a winding 33 has a diameter greater than a width of inner openings of the slots. A piece of the electric conductor extends into a first slot from a first side of the iron core 32, and extends out of the first slot to a second side of the iron core 32 before extending into a second slot, which is distant from the first slot by an electric angle of 180 DEG , from the second side of the iron core 32 and extending out of the second slot to the first side of the iron core 32. The winding 33 has a recurrence of such pieces which forms one phase. The winding 33 has, for example, three phases separated by electric angles of 120 DEG . <IMAGE></p> |
