An alternator has 9 slots/pole. What is the value of the pitch factor if each coil spans 8 slot pitches.
An alternator has 9 slots/pole. What is the value of the pitch factor if each coil spans 8 slot pitches. Correct Answer cos 10°
Slots/pole = 9
Coil span of 8 slots, i.e. coil is short pitched by 1 slot.
Chording angle, α = qγ
q = no. of slots short-pitched (In this case q = 1)
γ = angular span or angular distance covered by each slot
Angle covered by each pole = π (Electrical angle)
Here, γ = π/9 = 20°
α = γ (since q = 1) = 20°
Pitch factor, KP = cos (α/2) = cos (20°/2) = cos 10°.
