Concentric Windings In Transformer

Figure 1.10 shows concentric windings, which are used for core-type transformers.

Figure 1.10 Concentric Windings
Concentric windings are classified into four following groups:
(i) Spiral windings.
(ii) Helical windings.
(iii) Cross-over windings.
(iv) Continuous disc windings.
These windings are discussed as follows.

1.5.1.1 Spiral Windings

These coils are suitable for windings to carry high currents, which are generally used or currents greater than 100 A. They are almost used for LV windings. Figure 1.11 shows double-layer spiral coils, which are wound on solid insulating former, and hence are mechanically strong.

1.5.1.2 Helical Windings

These coils are wound in the form of helix, which are generally used for low voltages 11 kV to 33 kV for large transformers. Figure 1.12 shows the cross-sectional view of helical coils where each conductor consists of a number of rectangular strips wound in parallel radially.

1.5.1.3 Cross-over Windings

These coils are generally wound on formers. Each coil consists of several layers and each layer consists of several turns. Figure 1.13 shows cross-over coils. The conductors may be of round wire with paper or cotton insulation and not suitable for currents exceeding 20 A. These coils are generally used for small transformers and for HV windings.

1.5.1.4 Continuous Disc Windings

Figure 1.14 shows disc coils. These windings consist of a number of disc and each disc consists of number of turns wound radially over one another from inside outwards and outside inwards alternately. Conductor consists of single number of rectangular strips and passes continuously from disc to disc for multiple strip of conductors. The transposition of conductors is done to ensure uniform current distribution. These windings are mechanically strong and hence can withstand stresses during short circuit conditions. These are used for HV windings of large power transformers.

Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part2)  2. Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control        The speed is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the armature. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the armature can be controlled by adding a variable resistance in series with the armature as shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Rheostat control of shunt motor        The field winding is excited by the normal voltage hence I sh is rated and constant in this method. Initially the reheostat position is minimum and rated voltage gets applied across the armature. So speed is also rated. For a given load, armature current is fixed. So when extra resistance is added in the armature circuit, I a remains same and there is voltage drop across the resistance added ( I a R). Hence voltage across the armature decreases, decreasing the speed below normal value. By varyi...

Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1. Fig. 1        The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.         The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.        These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2 Fig. 2  ...
