Abstract
A vehicle AC generator includes a stator core, a stator winding and a rectifier unit. The stator winding is comprised of plural phase-windings, plurality of first, second and third connection segments. Each phase-winding is comprised of plural U-shaped conductor segments and a pair of inclined portions. Each pair of the phase-windings that generates AC voltages a 180-degree-electric-angle different from each other is connected by one of the first connection segments to form a series-connected phase-winding. The series-connected phase-windings are connected by the second connection segments to form a multiple-phase stator winding that is connected to the rectifier unit.
