MMF closer to sinusoidal
- less harmonic contents
Construction
The harmonics in the mmf can be further reduced by
increasing the number of slots: e.g. winding of a phase are
placed in 12 slots:
Construction
In order to obtain a truly sinusoidal mmf in the airgap:
•the number of slots has to infinitely large
•conductors in slots are sinusoidally distributed
In practice, the number of slots are limited & it is a lot easier
to place the same number of conductors in a slot
•Sinusoidal winding for each phase produces space sinusoidal MMF

produces space sinusoidal standing wave MMF
