Lap winding; Simplex and Duplex Lap Winding
In small DC machines the coils are directly wound in the armature slots. In large DC machines, the coils are performed and then inserted into the armature slots. Each coil consists of a number of turns of wire, each turn taped and insulated from the other turns and form the rotor slots. Each side of the turn is called the conductor. The number of the conductors on a machine's armature is given by Z= 2CN where : Z= numbers of conductors on rotor C= numbers of coils on rotor N= number of turns per coil There are two types of armature windings in DC motors :- 1. Lap winding 2. Wave winding. In this article we will discuss about Lap winding:- Lap Winding:- In this winding continuous coils overlap each other. In this winding finishing end of one coil is...
