Integer-slot winding

A winding is called integer-slot winding when the number of slots per pole per phase is an integer.


Red cells in the Emetor winding calculator indicate integer slot windings.

For example, a 2-pole 12-slot winding is an integer slot winding, since the number of slots per pole per phase becomes 2 in a three-phase system. Integer slot windings are either single-layer windings when they are full-pitched, or two-layer windings when the coil span is reduced compared to full pitch, see below:
