STATOR

A stator for a rotary electric machine includes a stator core and a stator winding. The stator core includes a core inner-peripheral portion including slots. The stator winding includes a phase winding including segment conductors. The phase winding includes parallel conductors connected in series. Each parallel conductor includes ones of the segment conductors connected in parallel. The segment conductors include weld end portions protruding from the slots, bent in circumferential directions of the stator core, and welded to one another to constitute conductor joint portions. The weld end portions include weld end portions which protrude from each of the slots and which include first and second weld end portions. The first and second weld end portions are bent in the circumferential directions. The second weld end portions are smaller in number than the first weld end portions.
