Ans. Where the pole pieces are simply extensions of the cores without
enlargement, the coils can be slipped over the ends, but some kind of
clamping device is necessary to hold them in place, as for instance, the
method shown in fig. 244.
In case the pole piece be made larger than the core and separate
therefrom, it is put into position after the coils are in place,
thus serving the double purpose of pole piece and clamp.
=Ques. Describe the coil connections.=
Ans. Coils are generally united in series so that the same magnetizing
current may flow through all of them. The coils should be so connected
that they produce alternate north and south poles.
If all the coils be similarly wound with respect to the
terminals, and similarly placed; that is, so placed that the
winding, considered from the coil terminal nearest the pole
face, starts in all the coils in the same direction, then the
connections will come at the north end and at the south end of
the spools.
[Illustration: FIG. 245.--Western Electric set of former wound field coils
for four pole dynamo. These coils are wound around a former or template,
and are then slipped over the cores before the latter are bolted to the
yokes or frame.]
=Heating.=--The heat generated in the magnetizing coils is dissipated in
three ways; by:
1. Induction;
2. Radiation;
3. Convection.
In the first instance, it passes through the copper and the insulation,
either to the external surface, whence it passes off by radiation and
convection into the air, or to the magnet core and yoke, which in turn
conduct it away. In large multi-polar machines the masses of metal in the
pole cores and frame are more efficient in dissipating heat than the
external surface of the coil.
[Illustration: FIG. 246.--Fort Wayne compound wound rectangular ventilated
spool field coil. The series and shunt coils are wound side by side,
ventilating passages being provided lengthwise through each coil and
between the shunt and series coils as shown.]
=Ventilation.=--Sometimes provision is made for ventilation of the field
magnet coils as shown in fig. 246. Here the series and shunt coils are
wound side by side, ample ventilation being provided lengthwise through
and between the coils.
