What will happen if two generators are running in parallel but having different winding pitch?

pitch windings are used to suppressed the harmonics. while operating two gen sets in parallel having different pitch windings will certainly cause problems in reducing the harmonics . for example a generator with pitch winding 2/3 suppressed the triple harmonics but may enhance the 5th and 7th harmonics similarly a generator with pitch winding 5/6 suppressed the 5th and 7th harmonics but may enhances the triple ones . so the act would counter act each other.


Why armature winding resistance is less than field winding resistance?

An 'armature winding' is the rotor winding, and the 'field winding' is the stator winding.


Why short pitch winding is used?

In AC electrical machines, to produce a rotating magnetic field, distributed winding is used at stator pheripheri. These windings are of two types, single-layer and double-layer. In a double-layer diamond winding, the slot is divided into an upper and a lower part, and there is one coil side in each half slot. The coil side at the bottom of the slot belongs to the bottom layer of the slot, and the coil side adjacent to the air gap belongs to the upper layer.A double-layer diamond winding is constructed like the single-layer winding. There are two zone rings, the outer illustrating the bottom layer and the inner the upper layer. The distribution of zones does not have to be identical in the upper and bottom layers. The zone distribution can be shifted by a multiple of the slot pitch. A single zone shift equals a single slot pitch. By comparing the width of the coil with the coil span of the winding, we can see that the coil is now one slot pitch narrower; the coil is said to be short pitched. Because of short pitching, the coil end has become shorter, and the copper consumption is thus reduced. On the other hand, the flux linking the coil decreases somewhat because of short pitching, and therefore the number of coil turns at the same voltage has to be higher than for a full-pitch winding. The short pitching of the coil end is of more significance than the increased number of coil turns, and as a result the consumption of coil materialdecreases.Short pitching also influences the harmonics content of the flux density of the air gap. A correctly short-pitched winding produces a more sinusoidal current linkage distribution than a full-pitch winding. In a salient-pole synchronous generator, where the flux density distribution is basically governed by the shape of pole shoes, a short-pitch winding produces a more sinusoidal pole voltage than a full-pitch winding.


What is winding and rewinding?

Winding: To wind the coils into the slots on the stator or rotor and connecting them up to form a winding. Re-winding. Is to remove the old winding and doing what I explained above.


What is difference between main winding and auxiliary winding?

In the case of a capacitor-start/run single-phase induction motor, the main field is provided by the main (running) winding, and the capacitive branch is the auxiliary winding. In the case of a capacitor-start motor, the main winding is the running winding and the auxiliary winding is the starting winding.

What is field winding?

The field winding on a generator is the winding that is electrified to create an electromagnet; it is generally the winding found on the rotor (the rotating part of the generator).


Is wind up for the pitch kinetic energy or potential energy?

Answer 1Kinetic. Remember, kinetic energy is the energy of movement.Answer 2If one considers winding up for the pitch as analogous to winding up the spring on a crossbow, then you are converting kinetic energy (the motion produced by your arms) to potential "elastic" energy. Releasing the catch on the bow then converts the stored potential energy to the kinetic energy of the bolt as it flies away.Of course people are not crossbows, and the interplay of forces and motions is a bit more complex.Added:Answer two's analogy is flawed as the potential energy on the cross bow winding is not potential until the mechanism is stopped and locked. Until that point the energy is kinetic to potential. A pitcher winding up does not store potential energy as a locked in place cross bow bolt does.Added 2:Hence my statement that winding up a crossbow is *converting* kinetic energy to potential, while releasing the crossbow *converts* potential to kinetic energy.But as already noted, comparing winding up for a pitch to winding up a crossbow is probably not very accurate anyway.When a pitcher winds himself up for a pitch, he positions himself in such a way as to be able to convert the maximum amount of *chemical* energy into kinetic energy. At least, that's how I see it.


Lap winding and wave winding?

Both lap winding and wave winding are found in the use of DC generators. The main difference is as follows: lap winding is high current, low voltage, and wave winding is low current, high voltage.
