A motor winding configuration determines how well an electric motor matches an application's voltage, current and speed requirements. In this article, we explain Alva’s winding codes, such as 2D, 4Y and 8Y, and how series turns and Star/Delta connections affect torque constant, voltage constant and speed range. Learn how winding configuration influences servo drive selection and how to select the right configuration for your application.
