Both lap winding and wave winding are found in the use of DC generators. The main difference is as follows: lap winding is high current, low voltage, and wave winding is low current, high voltage.
The lap winding is used in dc generators designed for high-current application
lap winding is most suitable for
'Lap windings' apply to motors, not transformers.
a composite winding consisting of one lap winding and one wave winding, placed in the same slots and connected to the same commutator
because we know that for lap winding P=A. so no of poles=no of parallal paths. so as the no of parallal paths increases ,the current will be also increases.....so total voltage will be decreases....for this we refer lap winding for high current and low voltage.
It is always strong quite weak
The function of equalizer rings is to avoid un equal distribution of current at the brushes,there by helping to get sparkless commutation- by rizwan ahmad
The ends of lap windings are connected to adjacent segments of the machine's commutator, whereas wave windingsare connected between segments that are some distance apart. This results in lap windings having 2p parallel paths, where p represents the number of pole pairs; whereas a wave winding has just two parallel paths.
because its winding follows the wave sign
to achieve high voltage Wave type winding is used...... For high current Lap winding is used.
The winding function of an electric motor is a description of how the number of conductors in the windings around the motor changes with position.
