a) radial length of the pole shoe = height of winding – height of pole shoe – 0.02
b) radial length of the pole shoe = height of winding + height of pole shoe – 0.02
c) radial length of the pole shoe = height of winding – height of pole shoe + 0.02
d) radial length of the pole shoe = height of winding + height of pole shoe + 0.02
View Answer
Explanation: First the height of the winding is calculated from its formula. Next the height of pole shoe is calculated. Both the values are added with 0.02 to give the radial length of the pole shoe.
11. What is the formula for the height of pole body?
a) height of pole body = height of the winding + 0.02
b) height of pole body = height of the winding * 0.02
c) height of pole body = height of the winding – 0.02
d) height of pole body = height of the winding / 0.02
View Answer
Explanation: The height of the pole body is one of the design factors in the design of rotor. It is obtained by adding the value of the height of winding with 0.02, which is the approximate space occupied by flanges.
