Coil and Winding Element
The coil may be single-turn coil (Fig. 1.21) or multi-turn coil (Fig. 1.22).
A single-turn coil will have two conductors. But a multi-turn coil may have many
conductors per coil side. In Fig. 1.22, for example, each coil side has 3
conductors. The group of wires or conductors constituting a coil side of a multi-
turn coil is wrapped with a tape as a unit (Fig. 1.23) and is placed in the
armature slot. It may be noted that since the beginning and the end of each coil
must be connected to a commutator bar, there are as many commutator bars
as coils for both the lap and wave windings.
