Rotor Winding

Rotor winding refers to the arrangement of conductive wires or coils on the rotor of an electric machine, such as an electric motor or generator. The rotor winding is responsible for generating the magnetic field that interacts with the stator winding to produce the desired mechanical or electrical output.

In an electric motor, the rotor winding is typically made up of multiple coils that are evenly distributed around the rotor core. These coils are connected in a specific pattern to form a closed circuit. When an electric current is passed through the rotor winding, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field produced by the stator winding, resulting in the rotation of the rotor.

The design and arrangement of the rotor winding can vary depending on the specific application and requirements of the electric machine. Different winding configurations, such as lap winding or wave winding, can be used to achieve different performance characteristics, such as torque output or speed control.

Rotor winding is an essential component of electric machines and plays a crucial role in their overall performance and efficiency. Proper design and construction of the rotor winding are important to ensure reliable operation and optimal performance of the electric machine.
