Field winding

Introduction

This kind of winding architecture is used to build the rotor poles of the wound field synchronous machines.

The rotor field winding has a lot of similarities with the 3-phase winding. Therefore, in each sub-section of the Rotor Winding context, only the differences compared to the 3-phase winding are mentioned. For further information regarding basic knowledge and terminology about electrical winding, please refer to the user help guide: “Windings” which is dedicated to the winding design-general user information.

Design

A scrolling selection bar helps to choose the section in which one can define the winding settings.

Here are the sections available to design the winding step by step:
  • “Scheme” to build the winding architecture.
  • “Coil” to set how the coil is defined and to see how the pole is wound.
  • “Insulation” to define all the winding insulations.
  • “End winding” to define the dimensions of the end-windings.
  • “X-Factor” to adjust phase resistance and end-winding inductance.

Note: In the software, in the field winding datasheet, the parameters written in blue correspond to user input parameters and the parameters written in black correspond to data resulting from computations.
