In D.C. generators, lap winding is used for______________?
Correct answer: B. low voltage, high current
- A. high voltage, high current
- B. low voltage, high current
- C. high voltage, low current
- D. low voltage, low current
Explanation
A lap winding has as many parallel paths as poles, so it can carry high current at relatively low voltage. Wave winding has only two parallel paths and is therefore preferred for high voltage and low current.
