a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: The temperature rise = copper loss in each field coil at 75°C * cooling coefficient of rotating field coils / dissipating surface of the coil is calculated. If the temperature rise crosses the specified limits, the depth of the winding is increased.
14. The increase in the depth of the winding increases the heat dissipating surface.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: The increase in the depth of the windings increase the heat dissipating surface. The increase in the heat dissipation decreases the temperature rise.
