ROTATING ELECTRIC MACHINE

The present invention provides a rotary electric machine that reduces pressure loss and minimizes pumping power by making a surface of a cooling oil channel that faces a coil into an opening, and that also suppresses temperature increases in the coil and enables reductions in size to be achieved by changing cooling oil that flows through the cooling oil channel into an axial flow so as to be supplied between the coils using oil flow direction changing projections. The rotary electric machine according to the present invention includes: an annular cooling oil channel that is configured inside an externally mounted frame so as to face axially toward a plurality of coils that are arranged in an annular shape and such that a surface that faces the plurality of coils is made into an opening; an oil pump; a nozzle that sprays cooling oil that is conveyed under pressure from the oil pump into the cooling oil channel from above; and a plurality of oil flow direction changing projections that are respectively disposed inside the cooling oil channel and are arranged circumferentially so as to face gaps between the coils and such that cooling oil receiving surfaces face upstream in a direction of flow of the cooling oil so as to change the cooling oil that flows through the cooling oil channel to an axial flow so as to be supplied to the gaps between the coils.
