Pole pitch
● It is defined as the peripheral distance between the center of two
adjacent poles in a DC machine.
● This distance is measured in terms of armature slots or armature
conductors that come between two adjacent pole centers

Pole pitch = 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒆

Coil span or coil-pitch.

● The distance between the two coil-sides of a coil is called coil-span or


coil-pitch.
● It is usually measured in terms of teeth, slots or electrical degrees.
full-pitch coil.

● If the coil-span (or coil-pitch) is equal the the pole-pitch,


then the coil is termed a full-pitch coil.

Chorded-coil

● In case the coil pitch is less than pole pitch , then it is


called chorded or short pitch fractional pitch coil
Back Pitch(Yb)

● Distance measured in terms of the armature conductors


which a coil advances on the back of the armature
● Back pitch is also equal to coil pitch
Front Pitch(Yf)

● Number of conductor between finishing one coil and


starting of next coil in terms of conductor
Average pitch

Average of the front pitch and back pitch


Pitch of a winding or winding pitch

● Winding pitch. The distance between the two


consecutive and similar top, or bottom, coil sides, as
the winding progresses, is called the winding pitch,
● It is expressed in terms of coil-sides.
Resultant pitch(Yr)
● Distance between the beginning of one coil and the
beginning of the next coil to which it is connected

Commutator pitch(Yc)

● Distance (measured in terms of commutator bars or


segments) between the segments to which the two ends
of a same coil connected
Types of winding

Lap winding Wave winding

Progressive retrogressive Progressive retrogressive

Simplex Duplex Simplex Duplex


Lap winding
● A lap winding is a winding in which successive coils
overlap each other.

● It is named a “Lap” winding because it doubles or laps


back with its succeeding coils.

● In this winding, the finishing end of one coil is connected


to one commutator segment, and the starting end of the
next coil situated under the same pole and connected
with the same commutator segment.
Types of lap winding

Progressive winding

● Winding progresses in the direction of the coil wound

Retrogressive winding

● Winding progresses in the direction opposite to that of the


direction of coil wounded
Simplex winding
Distance between the two consecutive coil is equal to one commutator segments

Yw = Y b – Yf Yw = Yf – Yb

● Back pitch greater than front pitch ● Back pitch less than front pitch
● Commutator pitch, Yc = +1 ● Commutator pitch, Yc = -1
Duplex Winding
Distance between the two consecutive coil is equal to two commutator segments

Commutator pitch , Yc = ±m

simplex winding , m =1
Duplex winding , m = 2
Triplex winding , m = 3
Quadruplex winding , m = 4

For progressive = positive


For retrogressive = negative

Commutator pitch, Yc = +2 Commutator pitch, Yc = -2


Wave winding
● The one end of the coil is connected to the starting end of the other coil which has the same polarity as
that of the first coil. The coils are connected in the wave shape and hence it is called the wave winding.
Types of wave winding
Progressive winding

● Second coil end travelling ones around the


commutator is connected to a commutator
segment just ahead that of starting end of the
first coil.

Retrogressive winding

● Second coil end travelling ones around the


commutator is connected to commutator
segment just behind that of starting end of the
first coil.
Simplex wave winding

Yw = Yb +Yf

C = No of coil
P = no of poles
Duplex wave winding
● The second coil end is connected two segment ahead or behind the starting point for progressive and
retrogressive winding respectively.
