Q1) An alternator has 9 slots per pole. If each coil spans 8 slot pitches, what is the value of the
pitch factor? (0.9848)

Q2) Calculate the distribution factor for a single-phase alternator having 6 slots per pole.

(i) when all the slots are wound

(ii) when only 4 adjacent slots per pole are wound, the remaining slots being unwound.

(0.644, 0.837)
Q3) An 8-pole, 3-phase, 60o spread double-layer winding has 72 coils in 72 slots. The coils are
short pitched by 2 slots. Calculate the winding factor for the fundamental and third harmonic.

(0.9, 0.333)

Q4) Find the no-load phase and line voltage of a star connected 3-phase, 6 pole alternator which
runs at 1200 rpm having flux per pole of 0.1Wb sinusoidally distributed. Its stator has 54 slots
having double layer winding. Each coil has 8 turns and the coil is chorded by 1 slot.

(1805V, 3125V)

Q5) Calculate the rms value of the induced emf per phase of a 10 pole, three-phase, 50 Hz
alternator with 2 slots per pole per phase and 4 conductors per slot in 2 layers. The coil span =
150o. The flux per pole has a fundamental component of 0.12 Wb and 20% third harmonic
component.

(1000V)
