Net Length of Iron (Unit-2 DC machines)
Co : aren :
The cores of magnetic circuits are built up with laminated shéets and these are insulated from each other by varnish
(i., Kaolin clay or enamel).
In order to improve the effective cooling of the machine, the length of the core is divided into pockets of about 40 to
80mm width separated by vent spacers.
These vent spacers form ventilating ducts through which air is circulated. The ducts are radial as shown in fig.(a) and
their width normally varies from 8 to 10mm.
From above, itis clear that whole of the machine is not occupied by the iron. Some part of the length is taken by
insulation between steel laminations and air spacers created by irregularities in thickness of lamination.

=Real and apparent flux densities Boat
Slot flux due to saturation in teeth
The flux entering an armature from the air gap flows in teeth. The air gap flux while entering the tooth section divides
along two parallel paths. One part is passing through the tooth. Other part is passing through the slot.
As per concept, flux is only confined to iron only. But at higher flux density, a flux passing through slot becomes large
and it cannot be neglected. Any calculation based on upon no slot flux leads to wrong result. As a result the real flux
density in the tooth is always less than the apparent flux density. (Byeci < Bayp )Let, Boy =Apparent flux density; Bran; =real flux density
