Abstract

The windings (12) wound around each of the teeth (9) form two coil groups (71, 72) of three-phase concentrated windings which are disposed point-symmetrically to each other with respect to the rotational shaft. Each of the coil groups (71, 72) includes a first coil (33), in which the windings (12) are wound around the teeth in a forward direction, and a second coil (34), in which the windings (12) are wound around the teeth in a reverse direction. When each of the teeth (9) is allocated with a U phase, a V phase, and a W phase in this order in a circumferential direction so that the first coil (33) wound for each phase is set to be coils of the U phase, the V phase, and the W phase, and the second coil (34) wound for each phase is set to be coils of the −U phase, the −V phase, and the −W phase, the coils of the U, −W, V, −U, W and −V phases are electrically connected between the adjacent segments (14) in this order.
