    Study Notes

    Concentrated & Distributed Winding

    • Concentrated Winding: All turns of a coil are wound in the same location or coil span. Simpler to construct and suitable for low to moderate current applications. Found in small motors, transformers, and low-power devices.
    • Distributed Winding: Turns of a coil are spread out over a significant portion of the core. More complex to construct but can handle higher currents and reduce electromagnetic stress. Commonly used in high-power machines such as large motors, generators, and power transformers.

    Integral Slot & Fractional Slot Winding

    • Integral Slot Winding: Number of coils per pole per phase is an integer. Each coil is placed in a single slot, and the number of slots is a multiple of the number of poles. Common in machines with a small number of poles.
    • Fractional Slot Winding: Number of coils per pole per phase is a fraction. Used to improve machine performance, such as reducing cogging, improving efficiency, and minimizing harmonic content in the magnetic field. More common in machines with a higher number of poles.

    Full Pitch & Short Pitch Windings

    • Full Pitch Winding: The coil is wound with the distance between the centers of two consecutive turns equal to the length of one complete turn. This provides better utilization of the winding area and leads to improved voltage regulation and efficiency. However, it can result in higher leakage reactance.
    • Short Pitch Winding: The distance between the centers of two consecutive turns is less than the length of one complete turn. This reduces leakage reactance, which is advantageous in applications requiring lower reactance, like distribution transformers. However, it may lead to slightly increased losses.

    Single Layer & Double Layer Winding

    • Single Layer Winding: Each turn of the coil is wound side by side, with each turn occupying its own layer along the winding axis. Simpler to manufacture and offers better cooling, but limits winding space utilization. Often used in small transformers and certain motor designs.
    • Double Layer Winding: Each coil turn consists of two layers: one on top of the other. Offers efficient use of space, lower resistance, and better performance, but it is more complex to manufacture and can hinder cooling. Commonly used in large transformers and high-performance electric motors.

    Distribution Factor

    • The Distribution Factor (kd) is a dimensionless quantity accounting for the distribution of coil turns along the winding. It is calculated using the formula: K_d = (sin (m.ß)/2)/(m.sin ß/2).
    • Lower Distribution Factor: Indicates a more distributed winding.
    • Higher Distribution Factor: Suggests a more concentrated winding.

    Coil Pitch Factor & Winding Factor

    • Coil Pitch Factor (K_P): Accounts for the distribution of coil turns along the core of a machine. Calculated using the formula: K_P=sin??(mß/2)?/(m sin??(ß/2)?)
    • Winding Factor (K_(W ): Takes into account both the coil pitch factor and the distribution of coils around the machine's circumference. It is crucial for determining the effective turns in a winding.
    • For single-layer winding: K_(W )=K_(P ).K_(d )
    • For concentric (multilayer) winding: Kw=Kp·Kd·Ks

    Types of AC Winding

    • Lap Winding & Wave Winding: Two main types of armature windings.
    • Single Layer Winding: Only one side of the coil is placed in each slot. Further classified as:
      • Un-bifurcated Winding:
      • Bifurcated Winding:
    • Double Layer Winding: Most synchronous machines and induction machines use this type.

    Concentrated & Distributed Winding

    • Concentrated Winding: All coil turns are in the same location, simpler to construct, suitable for low-power applications, limited current capacity, and experiences high electromagnetic stress
    • Distributed Winding: Coil turns are spread across the core, complex to construct, high current capacity, reduced electromagnetic stress, common in high-power machines

    Integral Slot & Fractional Slot Winding

    • Integral Slot Winding: Number of coils per pole per phase is a whole number, each coil in a single slot, suitable for machines with a small number of poles, simpler manufacturing, and uniform distribution
    • Fractional Slot Winding: Number of coils per pole per phase is a fraction, more coils than poles, used for improved performance, such as reduced cogging torque, higher efficiency, and lower harmonics, common in machines with a higher number of poles

    Full Pitch & Short Pitch Windings

    • Full Pitch Winding: Distance between consecutive turns is equal to the length of one turn, maximizes coil utilization, improves voltage regulation and efficiency but leads to higher leakage reactance
    • Short Pitch Winding: Distance between consecutive turns is less than one turn, reduces leakage reactance, beneficial for lower reactance applications, but can lead to increased losses

    Single Layer & Double Layer Winding

    • Single Layer Winding: Each turn has its separate layer, simpler to manufacture, better cooling, but less space efficient
    • Double Layer Winding: Turns are wound in two layers on top of each other, efficient use of space, lower resistance, but complex to manufacture and less effective cooling

    Distribution Factor

    • Key parameter in AC winding analysis
    • Denoted by "kd", dimensionless quantity reflecting the distribution of coil turns
    • Formula: ?K_d = (sin (m.ß)/2)/(m.sin ß/2) where m is the number of layers, ß is the pitch factor
    • Lower kd indicates more distributed winding, higher kd indicates more concentrated winding

    Coil Pitch Factor and Winding Factor

    • Coil Pitch Factor (Kp): Accounts for coil turn distribution along the core, measures how effectively turns are distributed
    • Winding Factor (Kw): Combined effect of K_P and distribution of coils around the machine's circumference, determines effective number of turns
    • Formula for Kw: K_(W )=K_(P ).K_(d ) for single-layer winding, Kw=Kp·Kd·Ks for multilayer winding

    Winding Diagrams

    • Drawings are essential for communicating electrical equipment design
    • Software like FEM is used for magnetic field analysis, but can be time consuming and require precise geometrical data
    • MATLAB programs can be used to solve AC winding calculations for easier design and verification

    Types of AC Winding

    • Two main types: Lap and Wave Winding
    • Single layer winding: Un-bifurcated and Bifurcated
    • Most synchronous and induction machines use double layer winding
