As I said, somewhere in all that, The "series" has CENTER-TAPS, so is the
"unipolar" configuration, and the parallel has FOUR wires, so is "parallel
configuration". The 5 amp is the total current through any-one of the four
lead-wires, half of which (2.5 amp) would then flow through each of the four
windings in the motor, wired so that "looks like" only two windings to the
outside world. Draw it on paper, and make arrows and fiddle and erase! Have
fun! Remember, 5 amp per virtual winding, two such windings per motor (two
pairs of parallelled windings), is ten amps per motor!
