DC Armature Winding

The document discusses armature winding in electrical machines. Armature winding involves arranging conductors to produce electromagnetic forces through relative motion in a magnetic field. Groups of conductors are distributed in slots around the armature and connected in series-parallel combinations to increase voltage and current ratings. The key elements of an armature winding include conductors, turns, coils, coil sides, overhangs, and different types of coil pitches and layering.

DC ARMATURE WINDING

Armature winding of a machine is defined as an arrangement of conductors designed to produce emfs


by relative motion in a magnetic field.

The action of rotating electromagnetic machines is dependent upon the conversion of power that takes
place through the medium of magnetic field : an emf being induced in the winding that experiences a
change of flux linkages.

Electrical machines employ groups of conductors distributed in slots over the periphery of the armature.
The groups of conductors are connected in various types of series – parallel combinations to form
armature winding. The conductors are connected in series so as to increase the voltage rating while they
are connected in parallel to increase the current rating.

ELEMENTS OF AN ARMATURE WINDING


Conductor: Active length of copper or aluminium wire in the slot.
Turn: Two conductors connected to an end by an end connector.• Two conductors of a turn are placed
approximately a pole pitch apart.

Coil : A coil may consist of a single turn or may consist of many turns, placed in almost similar magnetic
position, connected in series. In the former case, the coil is called a single turn coil while in the latter case,
it
is known as multi-turn coil. A single turn coil is shown
in Fig. 3.1 (a). Fig. 3.1 (b) shows a 3-turn coil. However,
any number of turns could be included in a coil before
bringing out the coil ends

Coil Side: Active portions of the conductors in a coil.• A coil have two sides.
Upper (Top) coil side and Lower (Bottom) coil side.
• Distance between two coil sides is approximately kept as one pole pitch.
Overhang: End portion of the coil connecting the two coil sides.
Coil Span: Distance between two coil sides of a coil.
• Expressed in terms of number of slots or in electrical degrees.
Winding: Several coils connected in series.
Full pitched coil: Coil span is equal to pole pitch.
Short pitched or chorded coil: Coil span is less than the pole pitch.
Single layer winding: Coil sides are arranged in a single layer in a slot.
Double layer winding: Coil sides are arranged in two layers in a slot.
