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.
