Define NSSM Rotor Winding

The rotor winding is equipped on the rotor pole to provide the excitation for the magnetic field.

Double-click the icon Machine > Rotor > Winding in the project tree to display the Properties dialog box, where you define the wires and physical dimensions of the rotor winding.

In the Winding tab, the following are defined:

Parallel Branches

The number of parallel branches in the rotor winding.

Conductors per Slot

The number of conductors per slot (0 for auto-design).

Number of Strands

The number of wires per conductor (0 for auto-design).

Wire Wrap

The thickness of the double-sided wire wrap (0 to automatically obtain this value from the wire library).

Wire Size

Wire size (0 for auto-design). You can assign wire size of round wires or rectangle wires. When you select Round Wire for Winding Type, round wires are used ((refer to section 8.4.1 Assign Round Wire Sizes). Otherwise, rectangle wires are used (refer to section 8.4.2 Assign Rectangular Wire Size).

In the End/Insulation tab the following are defined:

Input Half-turn Length

Select or clear this check box to specify whether or not you want to enter the half-turn length. When this check box is selected, the row Half Turn Length appears the next time you open the Properties dialog box. When this check box is cleared, the row End Adjustment appears instead.

Half-turn Length

The half-turn length of the armature winding. It is available when Input Half-turn Length is selected.

End Adjustment

One-side end extended length.

Inner Fillet Radius

Inner fillet radius at the span corner.

End Clearance

End clearance between two adjacent coils.

Coil Wrap

Insulation: single-side coil wrap thickness.

Slot Liner

Insulation: slot liner thickness.

Wedge Thickness

Insulation: wedge thickness.

Bottom Insulation

Insulation: bottom insulation thickness.

Limited Cross Height

The limited cross-section height for the winding design or arrangement, or Overall Height as shown in Figure 12.12 (0 for available maximum area).

Winding Fillet

The size of the winding fillet.
