6. Construction
The harmonics in the mmf can be further reduced by increasing the number of slots: e.g. winding of a phase are placed in 12 slots:

7. Construction
In order to obtain a truly sinusoidal mmf in the airgap:
the number of slots has to infinitely large
conductors in slots are sinusoidally distributed
In practice, the number of slots are limited & it is a lot easier to place the same number of conductors in a slot

22. Frequency of rotation is given by:
p – number of poles
f – supply frequency
known as synchronous frequency

23. Rotating flux induced:
Emf in stator winding (known as back emf)
Emf in rotor winding
Rotor flux rotating at synchronous frequency
Rotor current interact with flux to produce torque
Rotor ALWAYS rotate at frequency less than synchronous, i.e. at slip speed: sl = s – r
Ratio between slip speed and synchronous speed known as slip

24. Stator phase voltage equation:
Vs = Rs Is + j(2f)LlsIs + Eag
where Eag – airgap voltage or back emf
Eag = k f ag
Rotor phase voltage equation:
Er = Rr Ir + js(2f)Llr
where Er – induced emf in rotor circuit
Er /s = (Rr / s) Ir + j(2f)Llr
