9. What is the formula of the number of turns per coil?
a) number of turns per coil = number of conductors/2*coils/slot*number of armature teeth
b) number of turns per coil = number of conductors*2*coils/slot*number of armature teeth
c) number of turns per coil = number of conductors*2*coils/slot/number of armature teeth
d) number of turns per coil = number of conductors/2*coils/slot/number of armature teeth
View Answer
Explanation: The number of conductors is calculated along with the coils per slot is calculated. Next, the number of armature teeth is calculated, and on substitution gives the number of turns per coil.
10. What is the formula for the armature resistance?
a) armature resistance = running armature resistance / 1.0 to 1.0
b) armature resistance = running armature resistance * 1.3 to 1.5
c) armature resistance = running armature resistance * 1.4 to 1.5
d) armature resistance = running armature resistance / 1.3 to 1.3
View Answer
Explanation: The running armature resistance is first calculated in the PMDC motor. It is divided by 1.3 and that gives the armature resistance of the machine.
