Abstract

Abstract In a rotary electric machine including a stator core and a stator winding received in slots of the stator core, a cooling medium baffling device is provided which comprises a cooling medium baffle plate fixed to the inner peripheral edge of one end of the stator core by mounting bolts protruding axially from the end of the stator core, wherein the circumferential position of each of the mounting bolts is displaced from the circumferential position defining the boundary between the different modes of phase currents flowing through the coils constituting the stator winding, thereby effectively eliminating generation of excessive heat due to excessive eddy current losses occurring locally at the end of the stator core.
