This lecture explores various winding examples related to the creation of a rotating magnetic field, from microtechnology to large machines, highlighting differences and specificities. It covers distributed and concentric windings, as well as unique constructions like a self-commutated permanent magnet synchronous motor. The lecture also delves into the challenges of winding connections, material choices such as copper and aluminum, and the integration of coils in electromechanical systems. From miniature motors for hard drives to massive power generators, the presentation showcases diverse winding techniques and their impact on motor performance and size.
