In a rotary electric machine provided with a rotor and a stator, a wedge is inserted between in-slot portions stacked in each of slots of the stator and a wall of each of the slots. The wedge has two edges and a length ranging from one of the edges to the other. The length of the wedge is smaller than an axial length of the stator core. The wall is located oppositely to an opening of each slot. By inserting the wedge, both end portions of the conductors are tilted so as to be oriented oppositely to the rotor in the radial direction. The tilted end portions starts from each of the two edges of the wedge in the axial direction.
