Pole Arc Formula Elements

Variables
Pole Arc
Pole Arc is the distance measured on the circumference of the armature from the center of one pole to the center of the next pole.
Symbol: θ
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Number of Damper Bar
Number of Damper Bar provides starting torque necessary for starting the synchronous motor. It also prevents hunting of synchronous motor.
Symbol: nd
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Slot Pitch
Slot pitch is the distance between two adjacent slots. In dc machines, the slot pitch usually lies between 25 to 35 mm.
Symbol: Ys
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Pole Arc?

Pole Arc evaluator uses Pole Arc = Number of Damper Bar*0.8*Slot Pitch to evaluate the Pole Arc, Pole Arc is the distance measured on the circumference of the armature from the center of one pole to the center of the next pole. The pole arc refers to the angular span or extent of a magnetic pole in an electrical machine. It represents the angle covered by the magnetic field produced by a single pole in the machine. Pole Arc is denoted by θ symbol.
