Single Layer and Double Layer Winding In DC Generator

Basically there are two physical types of the windings. These are i) Single layer winding ii) Double layer winding. The sequential arrangement of coils around the armature is different for both these types of windings.
1.1 Single Layer Winding
       In this type of winding, the complete slot is containing only one coil side of a coil. This type of winding is not normally used for machines having commutators. It is shown in the Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 Single layer winding
       In single layer windings permit the use of semienclosed and closed types of slots. Also the coils can be pushed through the slots from one end of the core and are connected during the process of windings at the other end. Here the insulation can be properly applied and consolidated which is advantageous in large output machines with high voltage.
       The single layer windings used in high voltage machines use small groups of concentrically placed coils. The interlinking between these coils is in such a way so as to minimize the space taken up outside the slot and in the overhang connections.
1.2 Double Layer Winding
       It is shown in the Fig. 2. It consists of identical coils with one coilside of each coil in top half of the slot and the other coilside in bottom half of another slot which is nearly one pole pitch away.
        In the Fig. 2(a) there are two coilsides per slot while in (b) there are eight coilsides per slot. Each layer may contain more than one coil side if large number of coils are required. For placing double layer windings, usually open slots are used.

Advantages of Double Layer Winding
       The double layer winding has following advantages,
1) It provides neat arrangement as all coils are identical.
2) Greater flexibility can be achieved with double layer winding as coil span can be easily selected.

Practical Commutation

The e.m.f. induced in each coil of armature is alternating in nature. If load is connected, the current flowing will also be alternating. But the flow of current in a d.c. generator must be undirectional. This can be achieved by the use of commutator. When the armature conductors are under the influence of one pole they carry current in one direction whereas the current is reversed when the conductors are under the influence of other pole. This reversal of current takes place along the magnetic neutral axis. Fig. 1 Note : The reversal of current is likely to take place in short interval when a coil is short circuited by a brush so that transfer of current from one direction to other is carried out without any sparking. This process is called commutation.        Thus a process by which current in the short circuited coil is reversed while it crosses the MNA is called commutation. The time during which the coil remains short circuited is known as...

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  ...

Winding Pitches

Now we will consider the definitions of different types of winding pitches, required in the design of the armature winding. 1.1 Back Pitch         The distance which is measured interns of armature conductors i.e. between top and bottom coil sides of a coil measured around the back of the armature i.e. away from the commutator is called back pitch and is denoted by . It is measured interms of coil sides. Note : Since it is difference between odd and even number, it is always odd number.        The size of the coil is decided by the back pitch. The back pitch is normally equal to coilsides per pole. It is shown for lap and wave type of winding in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1        The back pitch for the winding shown in the Fig. 1 is y b = 14 - 1 = 13 as coilsides 1and 14 are of coil number 1. 1.2 Front Pitch        It is defined as the distance measured between two c...
