What is the value of Yb for a lap winding with a 4-pole, 12-slot armature with two coil sides/slot. Assume single-turns coils.

What is the value of Yb for a lap winding with a 4-pole, 12-slot armature with two coil sides/slot. Assume single-turns coils. Correct Answer 7

Coil span is defined as a ratio of number of slots in the armature winding which are also equal to the number of commutator segments to the number of poles. Here, Slots in the armature winding= 12, Number of poles= 4. YCS= 12/4= 3. Yb = 2YCS +1= 7.
