Six-phase motors can provide higher power output and smoother operation compared to three-phase motors.


Original Abstract Submitted

A six-phase motor includes a rotor including a plurality of magnets. The six-phase motor also includes a stator disposed to form an air gap with the rotor. The six-phase motor further includes coils, corresponding to six phases of the six-phase motor, disposed on the stator. Among the coils, coils corresponding to three phases are configured to have a different number of turns as compared to coils corresponding to the remaining of three phases.
