Q

here, the coil pitch is less than the pole pitch, meaning the coil sides are placed less than 180° apart. (Coil pitch and pole pitch are not equal).

Q

ii is typically defined by the fraction of the pole pitch that the coil covers. It is the difference between the full-pitch coil and the chorded coil.

A

chording pitched winding

13
Q

The distance, measured in terms of the armature conductors, which a coil advances on the back of the armature and is denoted by YB.

13
Q

defined as the distance round the armature between two successive conductors which are directly connected together. Or, it is the distance between th beginnings of two consecutive turns.

A

pitch of a winding

14
Q

The number of armature conductors or elements spanned by a coil on the front (or commutator end of an armature) and is designated by YF.

15
Q

It is the distance between the beginning of one coil and the beginning of the next coil to which it is connected.

A

resultant pitch

16
Q

It is that winding in which one conductor or one coil side is placed in each armature slot.

A

single-layer winding

16
Q

In this type of winding, there are two conductors or coil sides per slot arranged in two layers.

A

two-layer winding

16
Q

is a type of winding used in DC machines, specifically for lap winding, where the winding is divided into multiple layers or groups of coils. This

A

multiplex winding

16
Q

It is the distance between the beginning of one coil and the beginning of the next coil to which it is connected.

A

commutator pitch
