E= PNZΦ
60a
Where:
E= generated emf (volt)
P= number of poles
N= speed of armature core rotation (rpm)
Z= total number of elements or conductor
Φ= Flux per pole (weber)
a= number of armature current paths
Total number of elements or conductors (Z)
Simplex 2
Duplex 4
Triplex 6
Quadruplex 8
Number of Brushes (N)
N(lap) = P ; N(wave) = 2
P = number of poles
Nc = Z
2
Z= Total number of elements or conductor
Number of armature current paths (a):
a(lap) = mP a(wave) = 2m
Where
P= number of poles
m= multiplicity factor
= 1, for simplex winding
= 2, for duplex winding ……… etc
Sample Problem
1. If the armature of eight-pole machine were
wound with a simplex wave winding, how
many parallel paths would there be? ANS: 2
