    Study Notes

    AC Winding Design

    • Concentrated and Distributed Winding:
      • Concentrated winding: all turns of a coil are wound in the same location or coil span.
      • Distributed winding: turns of a coil are spread out over a significant portion of the core.
      • Characteristics: simplicity, current carrying capacity, electromagnetic stress, and applications.

    Concentrated Winding

    • Definition: entire winding is concentrated in a specific region of the core.
    • Characteristics:
      • Simple construction
      • Suitable for low to moderate current applications
      • Higher electromagnetic stress, leading to higher losses and reduced efficiency
    • Applications: small motors, transformers, and other low-power devices

    Distributed Winding

    • Definition: turns of a coil are spread out over a significant portion of the core.
    • Characteristics:
      • Complex construction
      • Higher current carrying capacity
      • Reduced electromagnetic stress, leading to lower losses and improved efficiency
    • Applications: high-power machines such as large motors, generators, and power transformers

    Integral Slot and Fractional Slot Winding

    • Integral Slot Winding:
      • Number of coils per pole per phase is an integer (whole number).
      • Each coil is placed in a single slot, and the number of slots is a multiple of the number of poles.
      • Characteristics: simplicity in manufacturing, robust, and suitable for machines with a small number of poles.
      • Disadvantages: may exhibit higher cogging torque, limited ability to optimize performance characteristics.
    • Fractional Slot Winding:
      • Number of coils per pole per phase is a fraction.
      • Typically, there are more coils per pole per phase than the number of poles.
      • Characteristics: improved performance characteristics, higher efficiency, and better utilization of the machine.
      • Disadvantages: more complex manufacturing, increased chances of manufacturing errors.

    Full Pitch and Short Pitch Windings

    • Full Pitch Windings:
      • Distance between the centers of two consecutive turns is equal to the length of one complete turn.
      • Characteristics: improved voltage regulation, efficiency, and better utilization of the winding area.
      • Disadvantages: may lead to higher leakage reactance.
    • Short Pitch Windings:
      • Distance between the centers of two consecutive turns is less than the length of one complete turn.
      • Characteristics: reduced leakage reactance, suitable for applications where a lower reactance is desired.
      • Disadvantages: slightly increased losses.

    Single Layer and Double Layer Winding

    • Single Layer Winding:
      • Each turn of the coil is wound side by side, without any turns being placed on top of each other.
      • Characteristics: simplicity, better cooling, and limited space utilization.
      • Applications: small transformers and certain electric motor designs.
    • Double Layer Winding:
      • Each coil turn consists of two layers: one on top of the other.
      • Characteristics: efficient use of space, lower resistance, and better performance.
      • Disadvantages: complex manufacturing, reduced cooling.

    Distribution Factor

    • Distribution Factor (Kd):
      • Accounts for the distribution of the coil turns along the winding.
      • Formula: Kd = (sin(m.β)/2)/(m.sin(β/2))
      • Ranges from 0 to 1, indicating the level of distribution or concentration of the winding.

    Coil Pitch Factor and Winding Factor

    • Coil Pitch Factor (Kp):
      • Accounts for the distribution of coil turns along the core of a machine.
      • Formula: Kp = sin(mβ/2)/(m sin(β/2))
    • Winding Factor (Kw):
      • Accounts for the spatial distribution of coil turns within a winding.
      • Formula: Kw = Kp * Kd (for single-layer winding)
      • Formula: Kw = Kp * Kd * Ks (for concentric multilayer winding)

    Development of Winding Diagrams

    • Importance of Drawings:
      • Drawings are essential for communication between designers and manufacturers.
      • They help in planning processing, machining, material requirements, and cost estimation.
    • Software for Designing Electrical Equipment:
      • Finite element methods (FEM) are used to solve magnetic field problems.
      • However, FEMs have limitations, such as requiring exact geometrical data and being time-consuming.
    • MATLAB Programs:
      • Implemented to solve various AC windings in electrical engineering.
      • Can reduce the burden and save time for designers.
      • Can be used for verification of solutions obtained theoretically.

    Types of AC Windings

    • Armature Winding:
      • Mainly of two types: Lap winding and Wave winding.
      • Can be designed as single layer or double layer winding.
      • Single layer winding can be classified as Un-bifurcated and Bifurcated winding.
      • Most synchronous machines and induction machines have double layer winding in the armature.
