Elements of Armature Winding in DC

Machines
Armature winding
Armature winding is arrangement of conductor to
develop desired emf by relative motion in hetropolar
magnetic field
Conductor is individual length of wire in the magnetic
field
 Elements of an armature windings

A turn – two conductors connected to an end by an end connector

 Elements of an armature windings

A coil – several turns connected in series

 Elements of an armature windings

A winding – several coils connected in series

 Elements of an armature windings

The most common ways of connecting coils for armature windings:

Lap winding
Wave winding

Ends of the coils are connected to the commutator bars

In DC machines most of the coils are full-pitch.
