ELECTRIC MOTOR, COMPRESSOR, AND REFRIGERATION DEVICE

An electric motor includes a rotor and a stator having a stator core, a suspension winding group, and an armature winding group. The stator core includes a back yoke and a plurality of teeth. The suspension winding group includes a plurality of suspension windings wound on the teeth. The suspension windings generate an electromagnetic force that supports the rotor in a non-contact manner, and generate a magnetic pole inside the stator. The armature winding group includes a plurality of armature windings wound on the teeth. The armature windings generate an electromagnetic force that rotationally drives the rotor, and generate a magnetic pole inside the stator. One of the suspension or armature winding groups includes a plurality of series winding sets with a plurality of series connected windings of a same phase. Each series winding set is connected in parallel with an other one of the series winding sets.
