Abstract: The present invention refers to a shaded-pole single-phase motor convertible into a permanent magnet motor of the type that comprises a front casing, a stator element, a rotor element, a plurality of windings placed over the protruding poles of the stator element, and a rear casing, wherein the stator element presents a square-shape configuration with the four protruding poles rotated 45° relative to the horizontal and vertical symmetry axes in order to be aligned with the four corners of the stator element. The stator new configuration enables optimizing the use of lamination material during manufacturing and assembling the sheet packages of the stator element and rotor element; furthermore, the protruding poles, by being rotated 45° in the stator element, enable a reduction of electric losses in its windings and a decrease in the operative temperature of both the stator element and the rotor element, which enables an increase of the motor operation efficiency.
