ALTERNATING-CURRENT WINDING

conductors of the three windings, however, being located 120 degrees 

 (one-third of a cycle) behind each other. Any conductor of one 

 winding is, therefore, at any instant, in a different phase from that 

 of the conductors of the other windings. Thus, in the position 



represented in Fig. D in Fig. 225 the conductors represented by 

 black lines are directly opposite the middle of the pole pieces, the 

 blue line conductors are located 120 degrees behind them, and the 

 red conductors are 120 degrees behind the blue conductors and 

 240 degrees behind the black conductors.
