Abstract: A three phase two-pole induction motor includes a three phase winding wound as a two-pole winding with an effective full pitch wound winding connected in a double delta connection. Each pole group includes a plurality of coils wound as a concentric winding or as a short pitch lap wound equivalent winding. A 36 slot stator is illustrated and includes each phase winding wound with 2 coil units each having 2 coil groups. Each coil group has 3 concentric coils and in the illustrated concentric winding the one phase winding has one group with coil sides in slots 1-3 and 16-18 and the second group in slots 19-21 and 34-36. The next phase winding has similar coils in slots 4-6 and 25-27 and in slots 7-9 and 22-24. The third phase winding has similar coils in slots 10-12 and 31-33 and in slots 13-15 and 29-30. The coil sides of each of the two groups are connected to form a full pitch winding.
