Abstract

In a rotary electric machine, each of coils includes coil terminals led out from a coil main body. The coil terminals are connected to bus bars. When a diameter of each of the bus bars is defined as D, a diameter of a cross section of a coil wire is defined as “d”, a Young's modulus of the coil wire is defined as E, a linear expansion coefficient of a material of the bus bars is defined as α1, a linear expansion coefficient of a material of a stator core is defined as α2, and an estimated temperature difference between a room temperature and a use environment temperature is defined as ΔT, a length L of at least one of the coil terminals from an end on the coil main body side to a connecting portion to the bus bar satisfies the following expression: L≥((3πdED(α1−α2)ΔT/10)1/2/10.
