Abstract

A rotating electric machine comprises: a stator including a stator iron core having a plurality of slots and a stator winding incorporated in the plurality of slots; and a rotor rotatably disposed in the stator via a clearance; wherein a mold (i.e., a slot insulator) made of an insulating resin is brought into close contact with the surface of a projection (i.e., a tooth core) of the stator iron core, formed between the adjacent slots, the thickness of the mold at a portion of the projection wound with the stator winding being smaller than that of the mold at other portions. Thus, it is possible to provide the rotating electric machine in which thermal resistance generated between the stator winding and the stator iron core can be reduced, thermal transmittance of heat generated in the stator winding to the stator iron core can be enhanced, and the cooling efficiency of the stator winding can be enhanced.
