A 3-phase machine has integral slot winding with fundamental distribution factor kd1, the distribution factor for nth harmonic kdn is ____________ Correct Answer less than kd1

kdn=(sinqnγ/2)/(qsinnγ/2) and examples will show that kdn is less than kd1. This has the effect of reducing the nth harmonic EMF in comparision with fundamental EMF. This is certainly an advantage of distributing the winding in slots.
