62 and 66 a precise number of times or turns the gauge of the wire and the number of turns vary depending upon the application of the sr motor 10 the description applies equally to any sr motor using any gauge wire or having any number of turns the windings 70 74 78 82 86 and 90 on diametrically opposite stator poles 46 50 54 58 62 and 66 respectively are connected in series to form three electrically independent phases 1 2 and 3 of the sr motor 10 in an alternative construction the windings 70 74 78 82 86 and 90 could be connected in parallel to form the three electrically independent phases 1 2 and 3 as shown in fig2 the windings 70 and 82 on stator poles 46 and 58 respectively form pole pairs which together form phase 1 the windings 74 and 86 on stator poles 50 and 62 respectively form pole pairs which together form phase 2 the windings 78 and 90 on stator poles 54 and 60 respectively form pole pairs which together form phase 3 because the rotor 14 is made of ferromagnetic material energizing a particular phase of the sr motor 10 results in the formation of a magnetic attraction between the windings on the stator pole pairs comprising the energized phase and the rotor poles closest to the stator poles of the energized phase by energizing the phases 1 2 and 3.
