Before knowing about, winding factor, we should know Alternator for a Car
about pitch factor and distribution factor, since winding Electrical Power System
factor is the product of pitch factor and distribution Star Delta Starter

Distribution Factor
If all the coil sides of any one phase under one pole are
bunched in one slot, the winding obtained is known as
concentrated winding and the total emf induced is equal to the
arithmetic sum of the emfs induced in all the coils of one
phase under one pole.
But in practical cases, for obtaining smooth sinusoidal voltage
waveform, armature winding of alternator is not concentrated
but distributed among the different slots to form polar groups
under each pole. In distributed winding, coil sides per phase
are displaced from each other by an angle equal to the
angular displacement of the adjacent slots. Hence, the
induced emf per coil side is not an angle equal to the angular
displacement of the slots.
So, the resultant emf of the winding is the phasor sum of the
induced emf per coil side. As it is phasor sum, must be less
than the arithmetic sum of these induced emfs. Top
Resultant emf would be an arithmetic sum if the winding

are equal in magnitude, but they differ from each other by an
angle β.
If we draw bisectors on AC, CD, DE, EF --------. They would
