The relationship between mechanical and electrical angles is crucial in understanding the operation of motors and generators. In a 2-pole machine, the electrical angle is equal to the mechanical angle. Conversely, in a 4-pole machine, the electrical angle is twice the mechanical angle. This distinction is essential for accurately determining the electrical angle between two coils in various applications.
