Slot

Slot physical properties

  1. Example for an outer slot

    Here is an example of regions in the outer slot. Note that the same principles apply to the inner slot.

    Table 1. Regions for outer slot


    1 Yoke.
    2 Tooth.
    3 Tooth foot.
    4-5 Coil conductors for describing superimposed coils or adjacent coil layout in slot.
  2. List of possible elementary regions for an outer slot.
    • Coil conductor, Tooth, Yoke and Tooth foot illustrated above.
    • Insulating wedge or Ferromagnetic wedge
      Figure 1. 1 - Insulating wedge or Ferromagnetic wedge location


    • Fluid “Intercoil” or Insulator “Intercoil” dedicated to tooth winding design.
