Option 4 : 1, 2 and 3

Distributed winding:

For obtaining smooth sinusoidal emf waveform, conductors are placed is several slots under a single pole. This armature winding is known as distributed winding.

  • It reduces emf
  • It also reduces harmonic emf and so waveform is improved
  • It also diminishes armature reaction
  • Even distribution of conductors helps for better cooling
  • The core is fully utilized as the conductors are distributed over the slots on the armature periphery


Fractional pitch winding:

When the number of slots per pole per phase is an integer, the winding is the integer slot winding but when the number slots per pole per phase is a fractional number the winding we refer as fractional slot winding.

  • It is practicable only with the double-layered winding
  • It reduces both the emf and harmonics
