Synopsis

This book delves into the theory and history of Drum Armature Winding within the context of electrical engineering, providing readers with a foundational understanding of the principles underlying the generation of current and potential in armatures. The author thoroughly examines the advantages and disadvantages of drum winding compared to Gramme winding. Along with a historical perspective on the evolution of winding techniques, the book explores early methods such as Siemens wire wrapping and Edison's radial and circular bars, while also discussing more advanced methods developed by the likes of Crompton and Swinburne. The author emphasizes the importance of minimizing Foucault or eddy currents while ensuring proper ventilation and insulation, addressing practical considerations such as driving, balancing, and the prevention of sparking at commutators. Throughout the book, the author's focus remains on providing engineers with a comprehensive and practical guide to maximizing the efficiency and performance of drum armature winding in electrical machinery.
