Rotary electric machine

A rotary electric machine, comprising:

• a rotor that is rotatably supported, and includes a plurality of magnetic pole portions in a circumferential direction thereof;
• and
• a stator that is coaxially arranged with the rotor and includes a stator core including a stator winding wound in the stator core, a multi-phase alternating current being supplied to flow through the stator winding, wherein:
• the stator core is configured based on a plurality of laminated steel plates and includes an annular yoke and a plurality of teeth extending in a radial direction from the yoke,
• the stator winding is configured such that a conductor is distributedly wound in the stator core for each of the magnetic pole portions,
• each of the teeth is provided with a covering portion, and
• the covering portion of each of the teeth is made of a soft magnetic material having a lower iron loss factor than each steel plate,
• the covering portion of each of the teeth covering at least a part of a surface of the corresponding one of the teeth.
