Abstract
Abstract In a brushless motor having a stator with windings mounted in plural slots and a rotor with a permanent magnet consisting of plural poles, the poles have two kinds of occupation angles on the whole in the rotating direction of the rotor, and a difference between the two occupation angles is equal to one slot-pitch.
