How many parallel paths are there in a 6 -pole simplex lap-wound DC machine?

How many parallel paths are there in a 6 -pole simplex lap-wound DC machine?

Right Answer is:

6

SOLUTION

Armature windings are mainly of two types

  1. Lap winding
  2. Wave winding

A winding in which the number of parallel paths between the brushes is equal to the number of poles is called simplex lap winding.

In case of LAP wound DC Machines:

No. of parallel paths (A) = No. of poles (P) = 6
