 Find Z and conductor per slot Zs
E = PΦzn/a
Bw = pΦ/πDL
Choose current density
δ =1.25 to 2.5 A / mm²
 Find conductor area
area of the conductor = Iz/ δ
LIMITING VALUES OF L AND B
Factor of consideration when selecting L
ventilation
cost
 L = ez / (Bav*Va*Ta*Na)
 Bav = .7 Wb/m²
ez=conductor emf at no load 7.5
Va = 30 m /sec
Tc = turns per coil
Nc = Number of coil

Peripheral speed
Pole pitch

LENGTH OF AIR GAP(lg)
Cooling
Noise
Pulsation loss
•Cooling α lg
•Noise, pulsation loss α (1/lg)
•When air gap is less Pulsation of flux produces noise.So to reduce noise air
gap is increased, circulating current increases and so loss is more
SELECTION OF SLOTS
Slot pitch (Yss) = πD/S
S = Number of slots
Iz Zs should not be greater than or equal to 1500 ampere

Ds/Ws = 2 to 4
 Insulation area = 10% to 20% of slot area
Area of core = Dc*Li

height of insulation is 15% to 20% hf
hs = 20% to 40% of hf
hp = hf + insulation height
DESIGN OF FIELD SYSTEM
Area of the pole Ap = Lpi *Bp
Lpi = lp*0.9

Y = Yb +Yf = winding pitch
• Progressive
Yc = Y/2 = (c+1) /(P/2)
