Winding, Short Shunt

A method of compound winding for dynamos and motors. The field is wound in series, and in addition thereto there is a shunt winding connected from brush to brush only, thus paralleling the armature. (See Winding, Long Shunt.) Synonyms–Series and Short Shunt Winding.

Winding, Series and Separate Coil

A method of automatic regulation applied to alternating current dynamos.

Winding, Series

A method of winding a generator or motor, in which one of the commutator-brush connections is connected to the field-magnet winding; the other end of the magnet winding connects with the outer circuit. The other armature-brush connects with the other terminal of the outer circuit.

Winding, Multipolar

Winding adapted for armatures of multi-polar dynamos or motors.

Winding, Multiple

A winding of an electro-magnet, in which separate coils are wound on the core, so that one or any number may be used as desired in parallel or in series. For each coil a separate binding post should be provided.

Winding, Lap

A method of winding disc and drum armatures. It consists in lapping back each lead of wire towards the preceding lead upon the commutator end of the armature. Thus taking the letter U as the diagrammatical representation of a turn of wire in connecting its ends to the commutator bars they are brought towards each [...]

Winding, Disc

A winding which (S. P. Thompson) may be treated as a drum winding extended radially, the periphery corresponding to the back end of the drum. The magnet poles are generally placed so as to face the side or sides of the disc.

Winding, Compound

A method of winding a generator or motor in which a shunt winding is used for the field magnets and in which also a second winding of the magnet is placed in series with the outer circuit. (See Winding, Series–Winding, Shunt.) The object of compound winding is to make a self-regulating dynamo and this object [...]

Windage

In a dynamo the real air gap between the armature windings and pole pieces is sometimes thus termed.
