SlotCore UDP
The SlotCore UDP is used to create a stator or rotor core with a distributed AC winding, or a DC commutating winding, or a squirrel-cage winding for the following machine types:
- Single-phase or multi-phase induction machines
- Wound-field or PM synchronous machines
- Brush-commutating machines, such as wound-field or PM DC machines, as well as universal motors
- Brushless DC machines, and others
