Rotating electric machine and drive system thereof

A rotating electric machine, comprising:

• a stator core;
• and
• a plurality of multiphase windings formed thereon;
• wherein each phase winding of each multiphase winding is divided into a plurality of partial windings, which are disposed at different locations on the stator core;
• wherein, at each location on the stator core for partial winding disposition, one of the plurality of partial windings is disposed overlappingly with a partial winding of different and identical phase partial windings;
• wherein, at each location on the stator core for partial winding disposition, a plurality of partial windings are wound through a pair of slots between which a predetermined number of teeth are interposed;
• wherein a plurality of winding areas each including a plurality of locations on the stator core for partial winding disposition are provided at equally spaced intervals;
• and
• wherein each phase winding of the multiphase windings is so provided that the partial windings thereof are distributively arranged on different winding areas.
