102. The disadvantage of Short Pitch Field wound generator:
a) Reduces harmonics in the output voltage
b) Reduces armature output Voltage
Note : Advantages of Short Pitch Coil:
Short Pitching reduces the amount of copper needed for End Connection when
compared with Full Pitched Coil as can be observed from the figure above.
They improve the waveform of generated EMF i.e. generated EMF can be made to
approximate to a sine wave more easily and the distorting harmonics can be
reduced or totally eliminated
They save Copper of end connections
They improve the wave form of the generated emf
The distorting harmonics can be reduced or totally eliminated
Due to Elimination of high frequency harmonics, eddy current & hysteresis losses
are reduced thereby increasing the efficiency
The disadvantages of using short-pitch winding are that:
the total voltage around the coils is somewhat reduced
Voltage induced in the 2 sides of the short pitched coil are slightly out of phase,
their resultant vectorial sum is less than their arithmetical sum.
Winding employing Short pitched coils is called Chorded Winding
