phase voltages– Parallel operation–three winding transformers- transients in switching –off
load and on load tap changers–Scott connection.
Types of DC Armature Windings:-
1. Lap Winding
Lap winding is used for low-voltage, high-current machines. In this type of winding, the end
of one coil is connected to the start of the next coil situated under the same pole.
2. Wave Winding
Wave winding is used for high-voltage, low-current machines. In this type of winding, the
end of one coil is connected to the start of another coil, but the connection is made to a coil
under the next pole.
