 Procedures in Armature Winding Design
(Simplex)

Identify the required specifications.

Make the needed calculations.

Create the winding table.

Start drawing.
 Identify the Required Specifications
(For Lap Winding)
• Draw the developed diagram and design of a simplex lap wound progressive
armature winding for a 4-pole generator with 24 conductors.
SPECIFICATIONS:
# OF POLES: 4
# OF CONDUCTORS: 24
WINDING TYPE: LAP
MULTIPLICITY: SIMPLEX
ROTATION: PROGRESSIVE
 Make the Needed Calculations
YP = 24/4 = 6.
YB and YF must be nearly equal to pole pitch and should differ by 2.
For progressive or right-handed winding YB > YF .
YB = YP + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7 and
YF = YP - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5
YC = m = 1
Elements per slot = 2 (Simplex Lap Winding)

 Identify the Required Specifications
(For Wave Winding)
• Draw the developed diagram and design of a simplex 2-layer wave wound
progressive armature winding for a 4-pole generator with 26 armature
conductors.

# OF POLES: 4
# OF CONDUCTORS: 26

 Make the Needed Calculations

Here, YA = (26±2) / 4 = 6 or 7.
Taking YA = 7, we have YB = YF = 7.
YC = YA
