Lap Winding:-In a lap winding the number of parallel paths (a) is always equal to the number of poles (p) and also to the number of brushes. In the given question number of poles is 4 hence the number of brushes will be 4. Wave Winding:- In wave windings, the number of parallel paths (a) is always two and there may be two or more brush positions.
In nuclear power plant the graphite is used as a moderator. The job of the moderator is to absorb some of the kinetic energy of the neutrons to slow them down. This is because slow neutrons are more easily absorbed by uranium-235. A neutron slowed In this way can start the fission process.
No of disc required for 11 kV transmission line = 1 disc Since the transmission line is 3-phase, therefore, the number of discs required for a single-pole will be 3. Total no. of poles = 80 No of disc = 3 × 80 = 240
