ALTERNATING-CURRENT WINDING 245 



Figs. 283 and 284, which are the same windings as Figs. 281 and 

 282, but tapped for six-phase. The winding has to be divided 

 into twice as many sections as for three-phase. Thus, the six- 

 circuit winding which was divided into nine sections in Fig. 281 is 

 now divided into eighteen sections in Fig. 283, the conductors 

 belonging to the different phases being distinguished by colours. 

 It will be seen from Figs. 283 and 284 that each part of the 

 armature periphery is now occupied by conductors belonging to 

 one phase, and there is no overlapping as in Figs. 281 and 282.
