Abstract: A brushless motor is composed of a stator for generating a rotating magnetic field by supplying three-phase alternating current consisting of U, V and W-phases thereto and a rotor having plural poles and rotatably disposed inside the stator. The rotor is rotated by the rotating magnetic field generated in the stator. The stator includes core teeth on which coils are wound. A tooth-group consisting of a center tooth and two side teeth is allocated to each phase, and excitation current in one phase is simultaneously supplied to three coils wound on the three teeth in the same tooth-group. The center teeth of each phase are positioned with equal intervals therebetween, while the side teeth are positioned so that they substantially coincide with the centers of the rotor poles when a center tooth in the same tooth-group coincides with the center of one of the rotor poles.
