Question

What is the relation of the type of winding with the flux linkage?

(a) in distributed windings the flux does not link with all the turns

(b) in distributed windings the flux links with all the turns

(c) in concentrated windings the flux links with all the turns

(d) in concentrated windings the flux does not link with all the turns

The question was asked during an internship interview.

The origin of the question is Specific Permeance & Calculation of Magnetizing Current in section Principles of Magnetic Circuit Design of Design of Electrical Machines

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) in distributed windings the flux does not link with all the turns

The explanation is: The magnetizing current is actually calculated for the concentrated windings and the distributed windings. In the distributed windings, the flux does not link with all the turns.
