Abnormal coil windings
Abnormal coil windings
(OP)
Does anyone know the likely effects on the magnetic fields produced if a coil is wound in a non linear fashion around a former. For example, if the wire was wound in a castellated pattern, i.e. around the former for part of a turn then along the former for a distance, then around the former for a further part of a turn then back along the former to the original position etc (square wave style) for the whole coil.
Would the main effect be that a higher current would be required to produce the same strength field as a conventionally wound coil or is there anything else to consider?

RE: Abnormal coil windings
Clearly the flux from each interconnecting wire between windings are going to be in opposite directions and so will cancel, so yes a higher current would be required to produce a given field strength. I can't see what benefit you expect to achieve with this type of construction.

Remember, the onus is not on real world to agree with calculations, the onus is on the calculations to agree with the real world.
