Abstract
In an alternator for a vehicle, a stator winding is composed of a plurality of U-shaped conductor segments and an annular member. The conductor segments have connection edges connected to one another to form ring-connected coil-ends, and the annular member covers the ring-connected coil-ends at the connection edges and portions of the conductor segments adjacent the connection edges. The annular member has a prescribed thickness that provides the ring-connected coil-ends with a prescribed stiffness.
