Advanced mode

1. User input parameters


Label	Symbol	Tooltip, note, formula
Coil pitch	*	Coil pitch = number of slot pitch between coil input and coil output (Easy mode / Advanced mode).
Winding type	*	Winding type - Lap or Concentric (Easy mode / Advanced mode).
Pole distribution	*	Pole distribution – Per pole or Consequent (Advanced mode).
No. coils / pole / phase	CPP	Number of coils per pole and per phase (Advanced mode).
Phase sequence	*	Phase sequence (all modes).
No. parallel paths	P _paths	Number of parallel paths (all modes).

2. Building the winding architecture - Advanced mode – Main principles



Building the winding architecture - Advanced mode
1	Selection of the Advanced mode for building the winding architecture.
2	Selection of coil pitch. In advanced mode, the user must define this value. There is no proposed short list of solutions. The relevance of the winding architecture has to be verified by the user.
3	Definition of the number of coils per pole and per phase.
4	Definition of the pole distribution: Per pole or Consequent. See an illustration of the two-pole distribution below.
5	Number of parallel paths. The possible numbers of parallel paths are automatically computed and proposed to the user. When the user chooses a number of parallel paths, the connections on the winding scheme are automatically updated. See examples in Auto mode chapter.
6	Selection of winding type: Concentric or Lap.Illustration of these two types of winding is given in the Easy mode section.
7	Definition of the phase sequence i.e. the rotation direction of the Magneto-Motive Force (M.M.F): Clockwise or Counter clockwise.The rotation direction is defined when the machine facing is towards the connection side
8	Icon to restore default input values. Default values are those which define the winding architecture by using the automatic mode.
9	Icon to apply inputs. Pressing the enter key twice applies inputs too.
10	Icon to export winding data into a text file

3. Pole distribution



Building the winding architecture – Definition of the pole distribution: Per pole or Consequent
1	Example for the per pole winding type.
2	Example for the Consequent winding type.

4. Winding customization



Building the winding architecture – Advanced modeThe relevance of the winding architecture has to be verified by the user
1	Selection of the Advanced mode for building the winding architecture.
2	The choice of the user is not limited by a list. Any integer value can be chosen for the Coil pitch. For example, in this case 10 has been written.
3	The result is that there are slots without coils. The relevance of the winding architecture depends on the user. A quality criterion allows verifying this relevance. Note: The process allows only zero, one or two coils per slot.
