Pole pitch:

  • It is defined as the peripheral distance between centers of two adjacent poles in the DC machine.
  • This distance is measured in terms of armature slots or armature conductors come between two adjacent pole centers.
  • A pole pitch in the electrical machine is equal to 180° electrical.
  • This is naturally equal to the total number of armature slots divided by the number of poles in the machine. 
  •  Pole Pitch = (Number of armature slots) / (Number of poles)

 

Important Points

Front pitch: The distance between the last side of the first coil and the first side of the second coil is called the front pitch.

Back pitch: The distance between the two sides of a coil in the back of the armature is called back pitch.

Coil pitch: The distance measured in terms of armature slots or armature conductors between two sides of a coil.
