An electromotive machine (200, 900) comprises a rotor (230; 800; 920) and a stator (210, 220; 500; 600; 700; 910, 920). The stator (210, 220; 500; 600; 700; 910, 920) comprises a first group of primary windings (260a, 240b, 240d; 520; 640a, 640b, 650a, 650b, 660a, 660b; 930a, 930b, 933a, 933b, 937a, 937b), which are concentrated windings, arranged on a first side of the rotor (230; 800; 920) and a second group of primary windings (240a, 250a, 240c; 530; 740a, 740b, 750a, 750b, 760a, 760b; 941a, 941b, 943a, 943b, 947a, 947b) that are concentrated windings arranged on a second, opposite, side of the rotor (230; 800; 920). The primary windings of each group comprise a plurality of coils that, in use, are supplied with current and produce a magnetic field. The windings of the second group (240a, 250a, 240c; 530; 740a, 740b, 750a, 750b, 760a, 760b; 941a, 941b, 943a, 943b, 947a, 947b) are displaced, relative to the windings of the first group (260a, 240b, 240d; 520; 640a, 640b, 650a, 650b, 660a, 660b; 930a, 930b, 933a, 933b, 937a, 937b) in order to cancel out an n-pole component of the magnetic field.
