Abstract
A unidirectional self-starting synchronous motor comprises a stator having pole teeth of alternating polarity some of which are shaded to provide shaded pole groups alternating with unshaded pole groups. The shaded groups are angularly displaced from a symmetrical position. The total number of effective poles equals the theoretical synchronous number and these are poles divided substantially evenly between the groups. In one case, a shaded shunt is provided as an addition to the shaded groups and a rotor is provided from radially-polarized, anisotropic, ferrite.
