Winding factor definition


The winding factor is defined as the product of the pitch factor and the distribution factor.

Pitch factor


The pitch factor is the phasor of the induced electromotive force and its ratio to its arithmetic sum, and is always less than the unit.

This pitch factor is the fundamental component of the electromotive force. Magnetic flux waves can also be composed of spatial field harmonics, which produce corresponding time harmonics in the generated voltage waveform.



Full pitch coil and short pitch coil


In a full-pitch coil, emfs sum arithmetically due to a phase Angle of 180°, while in a short-pitch coil, they sum in a phase Angle vector of less than 180°.


Distribution factor


The distribution factor measures the resultant electromotive force of the distributed winding compared to the concentrated winding and is always less than the unit.


As a spacing factor, the distribution factor is also always smaller than the unit.

Let the number of slots per pole be n.

The number of slots per phase per pole is m.

The induced electromotive force on the coil side is Ec.

The angular displacement between the slots,


We represent the electromotive force induced by a phase of different coils under one pole, such as AC, DC, DE, EF, etc. They are equal in size, but they differ from each other by an Angle β.

If we draw bisectors on AC, CD, DE, EF -- They will sense the common point O.EMM on each coil side

To meet,


Since the slot per phase per pole is m, that is, the total arithmetic sum of all induced electromotive forces per pole on each phase coil side,


The resultant electromotive force is AB, as shown in the figure.

Therefore, the electromotive force is synthesized


mβ is also known as electrical phase spread.

The distribution factor Kd is given by the equation as the fundamental component of EMF.

If the magnetic flux distribution contains spatial harmonics, then the slot Angle spacing of β on the fundamental wave scale will become the rβ harmonic component, so the distribution factor harmonic of r will be.

Harmonics in design


By choosing the appropriate chord Angle, designers can optimize the windings to reduce unnecessary harmonic effects.

Polarity Test of a Transformer – Circuit Diagram and Working
Polarity in Two-Winding TransformersIn two-winding transformers, one terminal of a winding is always positive relative to the other at any instant. Transformer polarity refers to therelative direction of induced voltagesbetween the high-voltage (HV) and low-voltage (LV) windings. In practical transformers, winding terminals are brought out as leads, and polarity defines how these leads are connected and labeled.Significance of Transformer PolarityUnderstanding polarity is critical for several op

Capacitor Start Induction Motor
Capacitor Start Induction Motor
Capacitor Start Motors are a type of single - phase induction motors. They utilize a capacitor within the auxiliary winding circuit to create a significant phase difference between the current flowing through the main winding and that in the auxiliary winding. As the name "capacitor start" clearly implies, these motors rely on a capacitor specifically for the starting process. The diagram below illustrates the connection schematic of a Capacitor Start Motor.The capacitor start motor features a c

What is a Thermal Power Plant?The law of energy conservation states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed from one form to another. Electrical energy, in particular, can be harnessed from a variety of energy sources. Facilities designed to generate large - scale electrical energy are commonly referred to as power plants or power stations.A thermal power plant is a type of power generation facility that converts heat energy into electrical energy.
