A 6-pole alternator with 36 slots carries a 2-phase distributed winding. Each coil is short pitched by one slot. The winding factor is given by _____________ Correct Answer cot15°/3√2

Slots per pole = 36/6=6, q=6/2=3 ⇒ γ=180°/6=30°, coil is short pitched by one slot ⇒ ε=γ=30° and Kp=cosε/2=cos15° and Kd=sin(γq/2)/q(sinγ/2)=sin45/(3sin15) Kw=Kp∗Kd=cot15°/3√2.
