Stator coil

A stator coil comprising a continuous three-phase coil group including a linear portion group in which linear portions are arranged side by side, in units of two adjacent slots of slots of a stator core for each of three phases, the linear portions in the linear portion groups of the respective phases being arranged side by side in order in the continuous three-phase coil group, the stator coil being mounted on the stator core by being wound in a plurality of layers along a circumferential direction of the stator core,

• wherein in each of first slots that are every other slots from among the slots of the stator core, the linear portions of a same phase are accommodated in order and stacked in a radial direction of the stator core, and in each of second slots that are every other slots different from the first slots from among the slots of the stator core, the linear portions of two phases that are same as two phases of the linear portions in the first slots on opposite sides of the second slot are accommodated in a number of layers stacked, the number being equal to a number of layers stacked in the first slots, and stacked in the radial direction of the stator core.
