US Patent 10230280 Rotating electric machine

A rotating electric machine includes: a stator 11 including a plurality of salient poles 13, and a plurality sets of three windings 31 for three phases wound around the plurality of salient poles 13, and a rotor 21. Lines 31a from one ends of the windings 31 for each of the three phases are connected in parallel, and lines 31b from the other ends of the windings 31 of each of the plurality of sets are connected at a neutral point. The number of turns of the winding 31 around a first area on each of the salient poles 13 is less than the number of turns of the winding 31 around a second area on the salient pole 13. The neutral points are arranged on one side of the windings 31 to follow the periphery of the stator 11.
