Wave winding is composed of_______________?
Correct answer: C. that even number which is exact multiple of poles + 2
- A. any even number of conductors
- B. any odd number of conductors
- C. that even number which is exact multiple of poles + 2
- D. that even number which is exact multiple of poles
Explanation
A simplex wave winding requires an even number of conductors, with the number arranged so that the average pitch is integral, commonly expressed as the conductor count differing by 2 from a multiple of the number of poles. Option c is the intended statement, although its wording is abbreviated.
