Original Abstract Submitted

A rotating electrical machine includes a stator equipped with a stator winding, a rotor arranged to face the stator, a housing in which the stator and the rotor are disposed, and a coolant supply unit. The coolant supply unit is located vertically above the stator and the rotor in the housing in a condition where the rotating electrical machine is mounted in place. The coolant supply unit works to deliver liquid coolant into the housing. A coolant guide is provided to direct the coolant, as supplied from the coolant supply unit, into an air gap between the stator and the rotor in the housing.
