Resistance of Mean Turn

= volts per coil / A.T. per coil = 3.1 / 750 = .00413 ω

Length of mean turn

= 6 + .8π = 8.5"

Ohms per 1,000 at 15°C.
= 1200 / 8.5 x .00413 = 5.85

___________________

18 S.W.G. or 19 S.W.G.
C.S. of Wdg Space = .65 x .75 = .487
Sq. area of wires
= .00337 and .00250
Turns = 144 195
Length = 102' 138'
Res. at 20°C = 1.83 ω 3.56 ω
Current = 6.78 α 3.48 α
A.T. = 977 673.

___________________

Therefore say 200 turns per pole for field
winding.
