ROTATING ELECTRIC MACHINE

The invention provides a rotating electric machine capable of easily winding a lead wire. The rotating electrical machine includes: a first coil having a winding start portion and a winding end portion; a first lap line connected to a winding start of the first coil; a second lap line connected to a winding end of the first coil; and an insulator having a cylinder portion around which the first coil is wound and an outer peripheral side surface connected to the cylinder portion. A plurality of recesses are formed on the outer peripheral side surface of the insulator in the rotational axis direction, and the first and second lap lines are disposed in two recesses, which are located at different positions in the rotational axis direction, among the plurality of recesses. 本发明提供一种能够容易地卷绕导线的旋转电机。旋转电机具备：第一线圈，具有卷绕始部和卷绕终部；第一搭接线，与上述第一线圈的卷绕始部相连；第二搭接线，与上述第一线圈的卷绕终部相连；以及绝缘体，具有供上述第一线圈卷绕的筒部和连结于该筒部的外周侧面。在上述绝缘体的外周侧面，在旋转轴向上形成有多个凹部，上述第一搭接线和上述第二搭接线配置于上述多个凹部中的、在旋转轴向上处于不同位置的两个凹部。
