Question

How many parallel paths in duplex lap winding of a 4 pole dc generator

Answer 1

Explanation:

LAP - The number of parallel path is equal to the number of poles in the machine. WAVE - The number of parallel paths is always 2. A winding in which the number of parallel path between the brushes is twice the number of poles is called duplex lap winding.

Answer 2

Duplex lap winding

Explanation:

A winding in which the number of parallel path between the brushes is twice the number of poles is called duplex lap winding. The number of parallel path is equal to the number of poles in the machine. So in a duplex lap winding, the number of parallel paths will be 2 or a multiple of 2.

So for a 4 pole machine, the number of parallel paths between the brushes would be 8.
