Patent ID: 8395294

Claim:
An AC motor comprising: a stator including a U-phase stator pole, a V-phase stator pole, and a W-phase stator pole; a first loop winding interlinked with a first magnetic flux that passes through the U-phase stator pole; a second loop winding interlinked with a second magnetic flux that passes through the V-phase stator pole; and a third loop winding interlinked with a third magnetic flux that passes through the W-phase stator pole, wherein the first, second and third loop windings of the three U-, V- and W-phases are arranged so as to be substantially parallel to each other; and the three U-, V- and W- phases in which the first, second and third magnetic fluxes interlink with the first, second and third windings include a phase in which the magnetic flux is differently directed, the winding for the phase with differently directed magnetic flux having a winding start and a winding end which are reversed from those in other phases with unidirectionally directed magnetic fluxes.
