Patent ID: 6844644

Claim:
A method of connecting an electric rotating machine, the rotating machine comprising a plurality of rotors driven by means of a compound current and a power supply supplying the compound current to the rotating machine via a first predetermined number of feeders, the method comprising: selecting a second predetermined number of the feeders on each of which a total sum of a current flow is zeroed when the second predetermined number of the feeders are interconnected at a neutral point by a third predetermined number of groups from among the first predetermined number of the feeders; and connecting each coil of the rotating machine between a corresponding one of the first predetermined number of the feeders and a corresponding one of the second predetermined number of the feeders for each of the third predetermined number of the groups, a product between the second predetermined number and the third predetermined number corresponds to that between a number of current phases in the compound current for driving a corresponding one of the rotors and a number of pole pairs of the corresponding one of the rotors.
