Number of tappings for each equalizer ring is equal to_____________?
Correct answer: A. number of pole pairs
- A. number of pole pairs
- B. number of poles
- C. number of parallel paths
- D. number of commutator segments
Explanation
In a simplex lap winding, equalizer connections are made between points of equal potential, with one tapping arrangement for each pair of poles. Thus, the number of tappings is equal to the number of pole pairs.
