          Appeal No. 1998-2601                                                        
          Application 08/809,052                                                      


          Nth-phase position detection signals outputted from said                    
          position detecting units, so that said first-phase armature                 
          coil may be supplied with power simultaneously with said                    
          second-phase armature coil during a section, said second-phase              
          armature coil may be supplied with power simultaneously with                
          said third-phase armature coil during a section, through said               
          Nth-phase armature coil which may be supplied with power                    
          simultaneously with said first-phase armature coil during a                 
          section,                                                                    
               wherein a first magnetic pole formed in said stator is                 
          magnetized simultaneously with a second magnetic pole adjacent              
          thereto in a predetermined direction in a manner such that one              
          is a magnetized North pole while the other is a magnetized                  
          South pole, then, the second magnetic pole is magnetized                    
          simultaneously with a third magnetic pole adjacent thereto in               
          a predetermined direction in a manner such that one is a                    
          magnetized North pole while the other is a magnetized South                 
          pole, and then, the third magnetic pole adjacent thereto in a               
          predetermined direction in a manner such that one magnetized                
          North pole while the other is magnetized South pole up to m x               
          n magnetic poles, thereby generating a leakage flux passing                 
          through one of two adjacent magnetic poles, of which a                      
          confronting area with a salient pole is smaller, which is                   
          effective for developing a torque between the magnetic poles                
          and the salient pole, and of which quantity is determined                   
          according to the quality of the magnetic flux passing through               
          the other of the above adjacent magnetic poles.
