Synchronous Machines: Distribution Factor (Kd) of an Alternator

 

DISTRIBUTION FACTOR (Kd) OF AN ALTERNATOR

 

Distribution factor, Kd = emf with distributed winding  / emf with concentrated winding


Kd = (sin m β/2) / (m sin β/2)

Where,

 m = No. of slots/phase/pole

β = (180°) / ( No. of slots/pole)

Since the conductors are spread over the surface of the armature in slots, their emfs differ in phase and the total emf is the vector sum.

Hence, Kd = 1 for concentrated winding but it is less than 1 for distributed winding.
