Lap and Wave winding with Equalizer ring & Dummy coil

lap-winding-and-wave-winding-arrangement

A rotating machine has an essential part known as Armature winding. Generally, this is responsible for making a rotating magnetic field in a machine. As a result, it provides back emf to the supply. This armature winding is classified into two types. One is Lap winding and another is Wave winding. These have their special … Read more

Geometrical Neutral Axis (GNA) and Magnetic Neutral Axis (MNA)

shifted-MNA-magnetic-neutral-axis

What are the Geometrical neutral axis (GNA) and Magnetic neutral axis (MNA)? The Geometrical Neutral axis (GNA) bisects the angle between the two poles of a machine. Whereas the Magnetic Neutral axis (MNA) is the perpendicular axis on the magnetic flux line. Also machine has a “Direct (D) axis” and “Quadrature (Q) axis”. What is … Read more
