 Introduction
• Three-phase concentric winding consists of coil groups laid in
the slots so that all the coils of each group are concentric.

• That is, the coil with the smallest slot pitch is surrounding by
the coil with the next larger slot pitch and so on to make up a
coil group.

• Each coil consists of several turns and the cross-over from one
coil to the next is indicated by a short slanted line (jumper).

 Concentrated armature winding
• Concentrated winding is employed where number of slots on
the armature is equal to number of poles in the machine.

• This armature winding of alternator gives maximum output

voltage but not exactly sinusoidal.

• Here, number poles = number of slots = number of coil sides

, which is shown in below fig.

• Here, one coil side is inside one slot under one pole and
other coil side inside other slot under next pole.

 Construction of concentrated winding
• In order to construct the diagram for a winding, the following
data must be known:

S - The number of slots in the stator

P – The number of poles

m – The number of phases

YS – The pitch of the winding

a – The number of parallel circuits in the windings

6 Gandhinagar Institute of Technology

• The pitch of the winding is determined by
the formula YS 
S Coil-sides

P
• The pitch is the distance between two sides
Pole-pitch

of a coil expressed as the difference between

the numbers of the slots in which the sides

lie.

• In order to find, where the second phase (B) should begin, it is
necessary to know the angle between slots in electrical degrees.
