A rotating electric machine includes a stator core, a stator winding, and a rotor rotatably disposed via an air gap so as to be allowed to rotate relative to the stator core. A magnetic resistance-altering portion is provided on every other magnetic pole of magnetically-assisted salient pole members. A magnetic pole provided with the magnetic resistance-altering portion and a magnetic pole without the magnetic resistance-altering portion are alternately arranged.

Rotating electric machine and vehicle equipped with rotating electric machine

A rotating electric machine, in which a cross conductors of a stator connect slot conductors so as to stride N+1 slots at coil ends on one side and stride N&#x2212;1 slots at coil ends on another side, with N representing a number of slots per pole, a stator winding includes a plurality of slot conductor groups each made up with a plurality of slot conductors corresponding to a single phase, the plurality of slot conductors in each slot conductor group are inserted at a predetermined number Ns of successive slots forming a continuous range along a circumference of the stator core so that the slot conductors in the slot conductor group take successive slot positions and successive layer positions, Ns=NSPP+NL when NSPP represents a number of slots per pole per phase and a number of layers is expressed as 2&#xd7;NL.

Rotating electric machine and vehicle equipped with the rotating electric machine

An electric rotating machine having high cooling performance is provided. The electric rotating machine is configured to include a rotor rotating around a rotational axis; and a stator disposed to face the circumferential surface of the rotor. The stator includes a stator core having a cylindrical core back and a plurality of teeth radially extending from the core back, and a stator coil wound around the teeth in concentrated winding via an insulation material. A spacer having electric insulation performance is attached between the stator coils each wound around the respective teeth adjacent to each other. The spacer has a coefficient of linear expansion greater than that of the stator core.
