Calculate the coil pitches and indicate the slots into which the first coils should be placed
for the following armature windings: (a) 36 slots, four poles; (b) 57 slots, four poles; (c)
76 slots, six poles; (d) 132 slots, eight poles; (e) 270 slots, 10 poles; (f) 234 slots, 12
poles

2. An eight-pole triplex-wave-wound armature carries a total of 660 amp. If there are eight
brush arms, calculate the current in each armature winding path and in the brush arm.
a=6
I path=110 amp
660
I brush= =165

3. A 17 slot 33 segment armature is wound simplex wave for four poles. Calculate the coil
and commutator pitches and specify whether or not there will be a “dead” element.
