Pole Pitch DefinitionPole pitch is defined as the peripheral distance between the center of two adjacent poles in a DC machine. This distance is measured in terms of armature slots or armature conductors that come between two adjacent pole centers.Pole Pitch is equal to the total number of armature slots divided by the total number of poles in the machine.For example, if there are 96 slots on the armature periphery and 4 poles, the number of armature slots that come between two adjacent pole cen

Armature winding definitionThe armature winding in an alternator is the arrangement of coils to generate electricity and is essential to its operation.Type of armature windingSingle-phase armature windingSingle-phase armature windings can be centralized or distributed.Centralized armature windingWhen the number of slots on the armature equals the number of poles in the machine, the central winding is used. This winding type provides maximum output voltage, but is not always fully sinusoidal. The
