Shape of pole face
Stator slots: in general two types of stator slots are employed in induction motors viz, open clots and semiclosed slots. Operating performance of the induction motors depends upon the shape of the slots and hence it is important to select suitable slot for the stator slots.
(i) Open slots: In this type of slots the slot opening will be equal to that of the width of the slots as shown in Fig. In such type of slots assembly and repair of winding are easy. However such slots will lead to higher air gap contraction factor and hence poor power factor. Hence these types of slots are rarely used in 3Φ synchronous motors.
(ii) Semiclosed slots: In such type of slots, slot opening is much smaller than the width of the slot as shown in Figs. Hence in this type of slots assembly of windings is more difficult and takes more time compared to open slots and hence it is costlier. However the air gap characteristics are better compared to open type slots.
(iii) Tapered slots: In this type of slots also, opening will be much smaller than the slot width. However the slot width will be varying from top of the slot to bottom of the slot with minimum width at the bottom as shown in Fig
