An electrical machine includes a first part-winding, a second part-winding, a core having slots in which the first and the second part-windings are wound, and a switching device for connecting the first part-winding to the second part-winding. In each of the slots, one of the two part-windings forms a bottom layer at the slot base, and the other part-winding is disposed as a top layer parallel above the bottom layer. The two part-windings are capable of being connected in parallel with the switching device during operation of the electrical machine. It is thus possible for a symmetrical field distribution to be achieved in a startup circuit. In addition, no additional components caused by harmonic fields occur in the torque curve which could impede runup.
