Electrical Machines (D.C. Generators)

1. The basic requirement of a d.c. armature winding is that it must be (a) a closed one (b) a lap winding (c) a wave winding (d) either (b) or (c) 2. A wave winding must go at least ............ around the armature before it closes back where it started. (a) once (b) twice (c) thrice (d) four times 3. The d.c. armature winding in which coil sides are a pole pitch apart is called ............ winding. (a) multiplex (b) fractional-pitch (c) full-pitch (d) pole-pitch 4. For making coil span equal to a pole pitch in the armature winding of a d.c. generator, the back pitch of the winding must equal the number of (a) commutator bars per pole (b) winding elements (c) armature conductors per path (d) armature parallel paths. 5. The primary reason for making the coil span of a d.c. armature winding equal to a pole pitch is to (a) obtain a coil span of 180º (electrical) (b) ensure the addition of e.m.fs. of consecutive turns (c) distribute
