When
Stator
and
Rotor
windings
of
a
2-‐Pole
rotating
electrical
machine
are
excited,
each
would
produce
a
sinusoidal
mmf

with
peak

Fs
and
Fr
respectively.
The
rotor
mmf
lags
stator
mmf
by
a
space
angle
at
any
instant
as
shown
in
figure.
Thus,
half
of
stator
and

surfaces
will
form
one
pole
with
the
other
half
forming
the
second
pole.
Further,
the

can
be
clockwise
or
counter-‐clockwise.
The
