Pole Pitch

In an electrical machine, pole pitch is the distance between two adjacent poles. It can also be defined as the periphery of the armature divided by the number of poles in the machine.

Poles pitch gives the number of armature conductors per pole.

For example, if in an electrical machine there are 4 poles and 32 conductors then the poles pitch is 8. Since, \[\frac{armature conductors}{number of poles}= frac{32}{4}=8\]
