Winding

Name

Parameter

Default

num_phases

number of phases (m)

num_wires

number of wires per slot

coil_span

coil span

num_layers

number of layers

resistance

elect. resistance (Ohm)

cufilfact

Fill factor of copper

0.45

culength

rel length of conductor

1.4

cuconduc

conductivity (S/m)

56e6

slot_indul

insulation thickness in slot

0.0

material

name of material

Note

The material parameter references a dict item in the list of Conductors material. It overrides the cuconduc value and is the preferred method.
