MMF Wave, Pole Pitch & Rotating Magnetic Field MMF Wave, Pole Pitch & Rotating Magnetic Field 1. Pole Pitch Pole pitch is the distance between two adjacent poles (N to S). 1 pole pitch = 180° electrical 1 MMF cycle = 2 pole pitches 2. MMF Wave The MMF wave represents how magnetomotive force is distributed in space. Half cycle = 1 pole pitch Full cycle = 2 pole pitches Total cycles = P / 2 3. Rotating Magnetic Field (RMF) In a 3-phase system: Three currents are 120° apart Each produces an MMF wave Combined effect → Rotating Magnetic Field The wave rotates but keeps the same shape. 4. Synchronous Speed Ns = (120 × f) / P Ns = speed in RPM f = frequency (Hz) P = number of poles 5. Concept Behind Formula Frequency gives cycles per...
