· The winding in which the number of slots and poles is equal is called concentrated winding.
· If the number of coils in the winding is one per pole phase, then it is called concentrated winding.
· In this type of winding, one coil side is installed in each stator slot.
· By using this type of winding, maximum output voltage is obtained, but the voltage obtained is not completely sinusoidal.
