Abstract
The torque characteristic is improved using a magnetic flux efficiently, and an eddy-current loss generated in a coil is reduced. Moreover, a loss is suppressed even if a metal member having a high thermal conductivity is closely disposed or closely contacted to a coil surface exposed by a variable magnetic field to improve the heat transfer property, thereby improving the cooling capability. A coil assembly for a rotational electric apparatus has first and second coil plates having wiring patterns formed in such a way that conductive coil segments adjoin with each other via slits, magnetic-flux-transfer-member slots formed in the slits and having a wider width than such slits, a coil constituted by the stacked coil plates so that the magnetic-flux-transfer-member slots overlap with each other, and a magnetic flux transfer member inserted into the magnetic-flux-transfer-member slots of the coil.
