1. Due to which of the following reasons concentrated windings are not used in alternators ?

Concentrated windings increase voltage harmonics

Concentrated windings decrease induced e.m.f./phase

Concentrated windings increase copper-to-iron ratio thereby decreasing the capacity

Concentrated windings require deep slots for accommodation which leads to increased armature leakage and reactance

Answer: Concentrated windings require deep slots for accommodation which leads to increased armature leakage and reactance
