6. For a conductor current equal to 4mA, Current carried by a particular brush in a 2-pole machine will be _____
a) 16mA
b) 8mA
c) 2mA
d) 10mA
Answer: b
Explanation: Conductor current in a wave wounded machine is half of the Ia. So, Ia= 8mA. All positive and all negative
brushes are respectively connected in parallel to feed the external circuit. Thus, IBRUSH = Ia /(P/2). Solving we get Brush
current = 8mA.
7. Equalizer rings are needed in the wave winding.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Explanation: The armature coil forms 2 parallel paths under the influence of all pole-pairs so that the effect of the
magnetic circuit asymmetry is equally present in both the parallel paths resulting in equal parallel-path voltages. Thus,
equalizer rings are not needed in wave winding.
8. For a wave winding when a machine is 6-pole DC armature with 16 slots having 2-coil sides per slot and single-turn
coil, Yf value is ____
a) 5
b) 3
c) 2
d) 7
Answer: a
Explanation: Ycs = 16/6 = 2 slots (nearest lower integral value)
Yb= 2*2+1 = 5
Yc= 2(16-1)/6 = 5 segments
Yf = 2Yc – Yb = 5.
9. Wave winding machines are used in ______ currents applications.
a) High
b) Moderate
c) Low
d) Can be used anywhere
Answer: c
Explanation: Lap winding machine has the advantage of large number of parallel paths and lower conductor current and
is therefore used in low voltage and high current applications. Wave winding has fixed number of parallel paths so, wave
wounded machine is used in low currents application.
10. For a wave wounded machine number of brushes for small, large machines respectively is ________ _________
a) 2, 2
b) 4, 2
c) 2, P
d) Both values depend on the given conditions
Answer: c
Explanation: For a small wave wounded machine number of parallel paths are 2, thus 2 brushes are used. For a large
machine total number of brushes is equal to the total number of poles. The spacing between adjacent brushes is C/P
commutator segments.
