1. A stator for a rotary electric machine, the stator comprising:
a stator core having a plurality of slots; and
a multi-phase stator coil wound around the stator core by double-layer winding, wherein
the multi-phase stator coil is formed by winding a plurality of double-wound coils around an entire circumference of the stator core for each phase, each of the double-wound coils being wound concentrically with different circumferential lengths,
each of the double-wound coils is formed of a coil portion having a larger circumferential length and a coil portion having a smaller circumferential length,
in one of the double-wound coils, a total number of coil pieces inserted into the plurality of slots for the coil portion having the larger circumferential length and a total number of coil pieces inserted into the plurality of slots for the coil portion having the smaller circumferential length are equal to each other, and
in each pair of the double-wound coils adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction, coil portions having a same circumferential length are inserted into a same slot of the plurality of slots.
