| -4- Contd. Depth of slot must not exceed = √(#A / 2π) = √.222 = .471" Take slot depth = .390" Then slot width = .080" Width of slot for insulation = .035" (as on 6"motor) Therefore width of conductor = .045" Depth of slot for insulation = .080" " " " " clearance = .020" Hence depth of slot for conductor = .290" " " " " conductor. = .145" Space efficiency = .290 x .045 / .390 x .080 = 41.8% (excluding rounding of corners of conductors) C.S. area of conductor (excluding rounding) = kx45 .145 x .045 = .00653 sq.inch. Armature dia. = 3.100" Pitch of teeth at circumference = (3.100 x π) / 45 = .216 Width of tooth at top = .136" Bottom of tooth is at 3.100 - 2 x .350" dia., i.e. at 2.400" dia. Contd. | ||
