The pitch or coil span factor is less than unity because

  • A.the two sides of a coil are not exactly a pole pitch apart
  • B.the coils of a phase are distributed over several slots
  • C.the flux per pole is smaller than the design value
  • D.the rotor runs at slightly less than synchronous speed

Answer: A

Correct answer: the two sides of a coil are not exactly a pole pitch apart

In a short-pitched coil the two sides do not sit under corresponding points of adjacent poles, so their emfs are not exactly in opposition and the resultant is less than twice one of them. The fundamental is reduced slightly, but a chosen harmonic can be reduced almost to nothing, which is why the pitch is shortened deliberately.
