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.
