SUMMARY

To wind a motor's coil effectively, one must determine whether the motor is AC or DC, select the appropriate gauge of wire, and calculate the required amperage and voltage. The number of turns in the coil is crucial, as is the method of winding. Understanding Faraday's law is essential for calculating induced voltage, which is influenced by the coil's area and the magnetic field. Resources such as the website provided by Watchman offer detailed insights into motor winding and power output calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AC/DC motor characteristics
  • Knowledge of wire gauge selection for motor coils
  • Familiarity with Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
  • Basic principles of electrical resistance and power calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction" for deeper insights
  • Learn about "coil winding techniques for electric motors"
  • Explore "calculating motor power output and efficiency"
  • Investigate "measuring magnetic fields and forces in motors"
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, hobbyists, and anyone involved in motor design or repair, particularly those interested in building or optimizing electric motors and wind turbines.

Motor winding problem please help me..?


if I got a armeture of a motor without a coil and ask to wind the coil what should I know to do this
and how to know whether,

* it is a AC/DC motor
* what gage of coil it should be
* what is the ampere and voltage
* how many turns should i wind in a one part of the armeture
* and how should I wind it
* how to know the power of the motor
* how to measure the magnetic force of the permanent magnet
* are the forces of both electric and permanent magnets same ?

if you know anything about these please answer me...
describe me in simple english
if you know any link to learn them please give me them also
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
The induced voltage depends on the diameter (area) of the coil and the number of turns of the coil.
The power is determined as well by the resistance of the coil.
Faraday's law will give you the induced emf in the coil:

V= (dΦ/dt)= NA(dB/dt)


N=the number of turns in the coil
A=area
B is the magnetic field
dt=time
ΦB is the magnetic flux in Webers or Tesla ( Tesla is the SI unit)

The current will be I = V/R. OR:
E=N((dΦB)/dt)

A complete discussion on the topic of windings, power output
and an example of an actual motor is on my website:

http://www.watchman2012.com/articles/spout24.shtml

The page is quite popular among those building wind turbines to calculate the output of
ANY given motor they build, to see if what they are building is adequate.

I worked out the maths with a real physicist over a two month collaboration period
and quite pleased at the resulting paper. (the vector calculus was a bear !)
the first of it's kind information on the web.
and it is all boiled down to one simple plug-in formula !

I started from the beginning with particle physics thru faraday etc
to have a complete understanding, it was FUN, then again if I was a spice girl i'd be geeky-spice ;)
enjoy
