COMMUTATION AND ARMATURE CONSTRUCTION IN REAL DC MACHINES
The Rotor Coils
Normally, a coil spans 180 electrical degrees. This means that when one side is
under the center of a given magnetic pole, the other side is under the center of a pole
of opposite polarity. The physical poles may not be located 180 mechanical degrees
apart, but the magnetic field has completely reversed its polarity in traveling from
under one pole to the next. The relationship between the electrical angle and
mechanical angle in a given machine is given by
If a coil spans 180 electrical degrees, the voltages in the conductors on either side of
the coil will be exactly the same in magnitude and opposite in direction at all times.
Such a coil is called a full-pitch coil.
Sometimes a coil is built that spans less than 180 electrical degrees. Such a coil is
called a fractional-pitch coil, and a rotor winding wound with fractional pitch coils is
called a chorded winding. The amount of chording in a winding is described by a pitch
factor p, which is defined by the equation
Sometimes a small amount of chording will be used in dc rotor windings to improve
commutation
COMMUTATION AND ARMATURE CONSTRUCTION IN REAL DC MACHINES
The Rotor Coils
Most rotor windings are two-layer windings, meaning that sides from two different
coils are inserted into each slot. One side of each coil will be at the bottom of its slot,
and the other side will be at the top of its slot. Such a construction requires the
individual coils to be placed in the rotor slots by a very elaborate procedure (see
Figure 8-1 2). One side of each of the coils is placed in the bottom of its slot, and then
after all the bottom sides are in place, the other side of each coil is placed in the
top of its slot. In this fashion, all the windings are woven together, increasing the
mechanical strength and uniformity of the final structure.
COMMUTATION AND ARMATURE CONSTRUCTION IN REAL DC MACHINES
Connections to the Commutator Segments
Once the windings are installed in the rotor slots, they must be connected to the
commutator segments. There are a number of ways in which these connections can
be made, and the different winding arrangements which result have different
advantages and disadvantages.
The distance (in number of segments) between the commutator segments to which the
two ends of a coil are connected is called the commutator pitch Yc.
If the end of a coil (or a set number of coils, for wave construction) is connected to a
commutator segment ahead of the one its beginning is connected to, the winding is
called a progressive winding.
If the end of a coil is connected to a commutator segment behind the one its
beginning is connected to, the winding is called a retrogressive winding.
If everything else is identical, the direction of rotation of a progressive-wound rotor will
be opposite to the direction of rotation of a retrogressive-wound rotor.
COMMUTATION AND ARMATURE CONSTRUCTION IN REAL DC MACHINES
Connections to the Commutator Segments
Rotor (armature) windings are further classified according to the plex of their
windings. A simplex rotor winding is a single, complete, closed winding wound on
a rotor. A duplex rotor winding is a rotor with two complete and independent sets of
rotor windings. If a rotor has a duplex winding, then each of the windings will be
associated with every other commutator segment: One winding will be connected to
segments I, 3, 5, etc., and the other winding will be connected to segments 2, 4, 6,
etc Similarly, a triplex winding will have three complete and independent sets of
windings, each winding connected to every third commutator segment on the
rotor.Collectively, all armatures with more than one set of windings are said to have
multiplex windings
Finally, armature windings are classified according to the sequence of their connections
to the commutator segments. There are two basic sequences of arnature winding
connections lap windings and wave windings. In addition, there is a third type of
winding, called a frog-leg winding, which combines lap and wave windings on a
single rotor.
