Sol.
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. It is the commutator pitch the determines the grouping to coils in series and parallel. In other works, it is the commutator pitch that determines as to how many parallel paths, each consisting of equal number of coils in series, will be formed. Hence, the nature of winding is determined by the Commutator pitch
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. With an n-plex wave winding, the number of parallel paths is 2nwhere n = 2, 3 etc. and stands for duplex, triplex etc.
Hence, a triplex wave winding will have 2 × 3 = 6 parallel paths
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. Usually magnetic and mechanical losses are collectively called stray losses.
