Question

4.An eight pole generator having wave-wound armature winding has 51 slots and each slot containing 20 conductors, determine the number of conductors?Z=51*20=1020
​

Answer 1

Given:

In an eight pole generator,

Armature winding has 51 slots

Each slot contains 20 conductors

To Find:

Number of conductor in the generator.

Solution:

Armature winding is a arrangement of conductors. Armature winding is a very important part in a DC machine. Armature core is made of silicon steel laminations.

Insulated conductors are arranged in slots of a armature core.

Hence,

∴Number of conductors = number of slots $\times$ number of conductors

=>Number of conductors = 51 $\times$ 20 = 1020

∴Number of conductors in the armature winding is 1020.
