Permanent magnet rotating electric machine and electrically driven vehicle employing same

An electrically driven vehicle comprising:

• a permanent magnet rotating electric machine being coupled to drive wheels comprising:
• a stator having stator salient poles;
• three-phase windings wound around said stator salient poles;
• a rotor which is supported rotatably inside the said stator;
• permanent magnets inserted into said rotor and positioned opposite to said stator salient poles;
• and
• control means for supplying a voltage to said three-phase windings, wherein
• said three-phase windings are concentratively wound around each of said stator salient poles;
• each of said stator salient poles is concentratively wound by a single phase winding of the three-phase windings;
• and
• windings within each particular phase of said three phase windings have a voltage phase difference between one winding of said particular phase and at least one other windings of the same particular phase.
