Hey Wok where i was taught its just a load of old pfftOriginally Posted by wokkaboy
Scatterwound is really just another sales pitch, you are random winding multi layers of wire as apposed to the exact same number of winds per pass on the cross section of the bobbin that a machine does. What matters is the count of turns per square and the relation between the length and cross-section of a coil.
People think scatter wound has some sort of mojo to it, the coils can be a bit more random and inconsistent and theres no way your going to sit there and wind 20 coils a day by hand, thats where the automated machine comes in, consistency.
A couple of points straight from my notes: Electricity doesn't distinguish between layered and random wound coils, what matters is the count of turns per square and the relation between the length and cross-section of a coil.
A well wound coil is a well wound coil regardless if it's wound with professional equipment, or a sowing machine.
Some people like the inconsistency of scatter wound coils, some dont.
