Abstract

In a three-phase induction motor, each of coils of three phases has a first coil unit and a second coil unit placed in 180-degree symmetry, each of the coil units has a first coil and a second coil, the first coil is formed by winding a winding once in an electrical angle range of 180 degrees during a two-pole operation, the second coil is formed by winding the winding twice in a range of a center third when the first coil is equally divided into three parts in a circumferential direction, in such a manner that a current flows in a direction opposite to a direction of current flowing in the first coil.

Claims (39)

1. A three-phase induction motor in which coils of three phases are wound around a plurality of slots formed on an inner circumference of a stator iron core, wherein

each of the coils of three phases includes one or more unit pairs, each formed from a first coil unit and a second coil unit,

the first coil unit and the second coil unit are placed with an electrical angle symmetry of 180 degrees during a (2×n)-pole operation,

each coil unit has a first coil and a second coil,

the first coil is formed by winding a winding m times in an electrical angle range of 180 degrees during the (2×n)-pole operation,

the second coil is formed by winding the winding (2×m) times in a range of a center third when the first coil is equally divided into three parts in a circumferential direction, in such a manner that a current flows in a direction opposite to a direction of current flowing in the first coil,
