Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
An inductor machine having a shaft and comprising in combination, a stator having a plurality of teeth and three multiphase windings; a rotor having teeth which are uniformly distributed along its circumference, said stator and rotor having magnetic structure means which define a number of repeatable sections of said machine, each repeatable section having the same relative arrangement of said stator and rotor teeth, while a path of maximum magnetic conductivity moves along the entire length of each repeatable section as the rotor turns by one tooth division; one of said three multiphase windings having a predetermined number of pole pairs; another one of said three multiphase windings having a number of pole pairs which is equal to the number of pole pairs of said one of said three multiphase windings plus the number of said repeatable sections; the third one of said three multiphase windings having a number of pole pairs which is equal to the number of pole pairs of said one of said three multiphase windings minus the number of said repeatable sections.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
136 words
An inductor machine having a shaft and comprising, in combination, a stator having a plurality of teeth and two multiphase windings and one single-phase winding; a rotor having teeth which are uniformly distributed along its circumference; said stator and rotor having magnetic structure means which define a number of repeatable sections of said machine, each repeatable section having the same relative arrangement of said stator and rotor teeth, while a path of maximum magnetic conductivity moves along the entire length of each repeatable section as the rotor turns by one tooth division; one of said two multiphase windings having a number of pole pairs equal to the number of said repeatable sections, while the other one of said two multiphase windings has twice the number of pole pairs of said one of said two multiphase windings.
