A uniformly distributed winding on the stator has three full pitched coils, each coil having N turns and each turn carrying a current i. The MMF produced by the winding is? Correct Answer trapezoidal in waveform with an amplitude of 3Ni/2

When the machine has more than 3 slots per pole per phase, the steps in the MMF wave are neglected and MMF variation is taken as smooth over these slots and as a consequence, stepped MMf wave changes to trapezoidal MMF wave. The trapezoidal MMF wave amplitude = 3Ni/2.
