Defining the Stator Slots for a Single-Phase Induction Motor

Use the Stator1 window to define the physical dimensions of the stator slots.

To define the stator slots:

1. To open the Stator Slot Data Properties window, double-click the Machine-Stator-Slot entry in the project tree on the desktop. (You can also enter values in the Properties section of the desktop without opening a separate window.)
2. Optionally, to automatically design the dimensions of slots Hs2, Bs1, and Bs2, select the Auto Design check box.
3. Optionally, to design dimensions of slots Bs1 and Bs2 based on the stator tooth width, select the Parallel Tooth check box, and enter a value in the Tooth Width field.
4. Enter the available slot dimensions.

   Hs0	Always available.
   Hs1	Always available.
   Hs2	Available only when Auto Design is cleared. When Auto Design is selected, this slot dimension is determined automatically.
   Bs0	Always available.
   Bs1	Available only when Auto Design and Parallel Tooth are both cleared. When Auto Design is selected, this slot dimension is determined automatically. When Parallel Tooth is selected, this slot dimension is determined based on the value entered in the Tooth Width field.
   Bs2	Available only when Auto Design and Parallel Tooth are both cleared. When Auto Design is selected, this slot dimension is determined automatically. When Parallel Tooth is selected, this slot dimension is determined based on the value entered in the Tooth Width field.
   Rs	Rs is added when the slot type is 3 or 4.

5. Click OK to close the Properties window.

   Parallel Branches	The number of parallel branches in the series winding.
   Number of Strands	The number of wires per conductor in the series winding (0 for auto-design).
   Wire Wrap	The thickness of the double-sided wire wrap (0 for auto-pickup from the wire library).
   Wire Size	The wire diameter (0 for auto-design).
