ROTARY ELECTRIC MACHINE

A rotary electric machine includes a stator extending along an axis and having teeth arranged about the axis. The teeth are circumferentially spaced apart by slots. Winding coils extend around the teeth and through the slots. The winding coils are electrically connected to one another to form phases. At least one of the winding coils has a first portion extending through first and second slots of the slots and including first end turns extending between the first and second slots over an axial end surface of the teeth. A second portion extends through the first and second slots and includes second end turns extending between the first and second slots over the axial end surface of the teeth. The first and second portions are connected in series at a third end turn spaced closer to the axial end surface than either the first or second end turns.
