3 Wave winding

 In wave winding, one end of coil 1 is connected to commutator segment 1 and its other end

is connected to another commutator segment which is approximately 360 0 electrical away

from segment 1.

 Where as in case of lap winding if one end of a coil is connected to commutator segment 1

then the other end of the coil will be connected to the next commutator segment i.e.

segment.

 Calculate the pole pitch (Yp) for the machine.

Yp = total no. of coil sides/total no. of poles

= (2 x C)/P

Where C is the number of coils.

NOTE: The number of slots = no. of coil sides , for a single layer winding

The number of slots = no. of coils , for a two layer winding

 Calculate the commutator pitch and resultant pitch for the winding.

For wave winding, commutator pitch YC for a P-pole machine can be written as

(P/2)YC = total no. of commutator segments + 1 =(C+1)

YC = (C+1)/(P/2) as total no. of commutator segments = total no. of coils.

 Again average pitch is also equal to commutator pitch and must be an integer.

 It is clear that for YA to be an integer there is a restriction on the value of C. With C=16 wave winding

is impossible for a 4 pole machine where as lap winding for C = 16 is possible. The values of C = 15 or

17 is perfectly alright for wave winding.

 Average pitch can be written as

YA = (YB+YF)/2 = YC

From the figure in slide 4 it is seen that for the 4-pole machine there are two winding

pitches or resultant pitches along the armature periphery.

2Yw  2C  2 For a 4 pole machine

Similarly

3Yw  2C  2 For a 6 pole machine

So in general for a P pole machine it can be written as

P
Yw  2C  2

 So in general, winding pitch or resultant pitch,

Yw = (2C + 2)/(P/2) = YB +YF For progressive winding

Yw = (2C - 2)/(P/2) = YB +YF For retrogressive winding

YB and YF can be decided from the above relation and also keeping in mind that

• YB and YF should be nearly equal to pole pitch.

• YB and TF both should be odd integers.
