This rotating electric machine is provided with a stator having a stator core, slots at even intervals around circumferential direction of said stator core, and a coil housed in said stator slots and generating a rotating magnetic field, and a rotor separated by a prescribed rotation gap from the stator core and freely rotatable, and is also provided with a first varnish impregnating between the coil and the slots of the stator core, and, to the outside of the slots in the axial direction, a second varnish attached directly to the enamel film of the coil. The first varnish is thermosetting varnish with the shear bond strength between the varnish and the coil in a flat wire greater than that of the second varnish, the second varnish is a thermosetting varnish with a glass transition temperature of about 104 DEG C, and the glass transition temperature of the second varnish measured by the DMA method is lower than the glass transition temperature of the first varnish.
