The formula to calculate the mean length of turn (MLT) for an armature winding in electrical machines, such as motors and generators, is not straightforward due to the complexity and variety of armature designs. However, a general approach to approximate the mean length of one turn (which is essentially what you seem to be asking for) can be outlined.
For a simple estimation, the mean length of turn (LMT) of an armature winding can be estimated using the following formula:
[ LMT = 2L + 2.3D ]
Where:
– (L) is the core length (or stack length) of the armature in meters.
– (D) is the inner diameter of the armature (also the diameter of the rotor) in meters.
– (2.3D) approximates the circular path of the winding around the armature’s circumference; the constant 2.3 provides an estimation that includes the additional length needed for winding around the slots.
It is crucial to mention that this formula provides a rough approximation. The exact calculation of MLT must consider several more factors specific to the armature’s design, including slot depth, the specific winding arrangement (lap winding or wave winding, for example), and the presence of any additional components or features that might affect the length of the winding path.
For accurate calculations, especially in advanced applications, referring to the manufacturer’s data or conducting measurements based on specific design schematics is advisable.
