A 440 V, 4-pole, 25 kW, dc generator has a wave-connected armature winding with 846 conductors. The mean flux density in the air-gap under the interpoles is 0.5 Wb/m^2 on full load and the radial gap length is 0.3 cm. Number of turns required on each interpole is _________(a) 74(b) 84(c) 64(d) 54The question was asked in an online interview.I would like to ask this question from Commutation Process -1 topic in section Commutation Process & Excitation Methods of DC Machines

Answer» RIGHT answer is (a) 74

For explanation: CORRESPONDING value of ampere-turns for an interpole

 ATi = ATa (peak) +(Bi/µ0) lgi.

= Ia* Z/2*A*P + (Bi/µ0) lgi.

Assuming Ia = Iline Ia = 25*10^3/440= 56.82 A.

ATi = [(56.82*846)/ (2*2*4)] +(0.5/4π*10^-7 )* 0.3*10^-2 =4198.

Ni= 4198/56.82= 74.
