Abstract

Abstract A polyphase armature winding for a dynamoelectric machine with a plurality of three phase, two-layer lap windings, each phase of each winding consisting of a different number of parallelconnected circuits than the number of rotor poles. The circuit sequence of the coil sides in the top layer is in partially or wholly interchanged relationship with the sequence of the bottom layer coil sides. The pitch of the windings may vary from fivesixths to one-full pole pitch. Although applicable to many variations, the winding is exemplified by a six-phase generator with two-phase belts per phase and four parallel-connected circuits per phase.
