Nope. 90 degrees apart.

I remember, Mr. Vermeulen, my grade 11 Electric Machines teacher, hand-built a 2-phase motor. He told us, "You rotten kids will never see another machine like this in your pathetic lives." He wanted to demonstrate how easy it was to start a 2-phase motor compared to a single phase motor. The rotating field starts the rotor when it's stationary.

I clearly remember the two windings were spaced 90 degrees apart and so were the two phase voltages. It had 4 brushes and he brought 4 wires out.

Mr. V was one of those rare teachers who expanded my mind.
