Full pitched lap winding of 4 poles, 12 slots, 12 conductors (one conductor per slot) alternator is shown below.
The back pitch of the winding is equal to the number of conductors per pole, i.e., = 3 and the front pitch is equal to back pitch minus one. The winding is completed per pair of the pole and then connected in series as shown in figure – 4 below.

Wave winding of the same machine, i.e., four poles, 12 slots, 12 conductors is shown in the figure-e below. Here, back pitch and front pitch both equal to some conductor per pole.

This winding for the same machine, i.e., four poles 12 slots 12 conductors alternator is shown in the figure-f below. In this winding, the coils are of different pitches. The outer coil pitch is 5, the middle coil pitch is 3, and inner coil pitch is one.

Before discussing poly phase armature winding of alternator, we should go through some of the related terms for better understanding.
It is product of number of phases and number of poles in a rotating machine.
Coil group = number of poles × the number of phases.
If under each pole face, there are an equal number of coils of different phases, then the winding is said to be balanced winding. In balanced winding, coil group should be an even number.
If the number of coils per coil group is not a whole number, the winding is known as unbalanced winding. In such case, each pole face contains unequal of coils of different phase. In two-phase alternator, two single-phase windings are placed on the armature by 90 electrical degrees apart from each other.
In case of three phase alternator, three single-phase windings are placed on the armature, by 60 degrees (electrical) apart from each other.
The figure below represents, a Skelton 2 phase 4 pole winding two slots per pole. The electrical phase difference between adjacent slots = 180/2 = 90 degree electrical).
Point a and b are starting point of the first and second phase winding of two, phase alternator. a’ and b’ are finishing point of first and second phase wining of the two-phase alternator, respectively. The figure below represents a Skelton 3 phase 4 pole winding, three slots per pole. The electrical phase difference between, adjacent slots is 180/ 3 = 60 degree (electrical) a, b and c are starting point of Red, Yellow, and blue phases and a’, b’, and c’ are the finishing points of same Red, Yellow and Blue phases of the three-phase winding.
Say red phase winding starts at slot no 1 and ends over slot no 10. Then yellow winding or second winding starts at slot no 2 and ends over slot no 11. Third or blue phase winding starts at slot no 3 and ends at slot no 12. The phase difference of induced emfs, in red phase and yellow, yellow phase and blue phase and blue phase and red phase winding respectively by 60 degrees, 60 degree and 240 degrees (electrical respectively). Since in three phase system, the phase difference between red, yellow and blue phase is 120 degree (electrical). This can be achieved by revering yellow phase (second winding) winding as shown in the figure above.
