Winding tab

Winding Type

Type of rotor winding. Click the button to open the Winding Type window and choose from Lap, Wave, and Frog Leg.

Multiplex Number

Single, double, or triple windings (1, 2, or 3)

Virtual Slots

Number of virtual slots per real slot

Conductors per Slot

Number of conductors per rotor slot (0 for auto-design)

Coil Pitch

Coil pitch measured in number of slots

Number of Strands

Number of wires per conductor (0 for auto-design)

Wire Wrap

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

Wire Size

Diameter of the wire (0 for auto-design). Click the button to open the Wire Size window where you can specify units, wire type, diameter, and gauge.

End/Insulation tab

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 Half Turn Length field appears the next time you open the Properties window. When this check box is selected, the End Adjustment field appears instead.

Half Turn Length

Half-turn length of the armature winding

End Adjustment

End length adjustment of the rotor coils

Base Inner Radius

Inner radius of the base corner

Tip Inner Diameter

Inner diameter of the coil tip

End Clearance

End clearance between two adjacent coils

Slot Liner

Thickness of the slot liner insulation

Wedge Thickness

Thickness of the wedge insulation

Layer Insulation

Thickness of the insulation layer

Limited Fill Factor

Limited slot fill factor for the wire design. The slot fill factor is the ratio between the cross-sectional area of all conductors in one slot and the entire slot area.

Equalizer Connection

Connection type of the equalizer. Select from None, Half, or Full.
