MMF closer to sinusoidal
- less harmonic contents

Construction
The harmonics in the mmf can be further reduced by
increasing the number of slots: e.g. winding of a phase are
placed in 12 slots:
Construction
In order to obtain a truly sinusoidal mmf in the airgap:
the number of slots has to infinitely large
conductors in slots are sinusoidally distributed
In practice, the number of slots are limited & it is a lot
easier to place the same number of conductors in a slot
