Many more turnscould be wound per layer, and more layers per division, toincrease the induced E. M. F. After the first set of coils iswound a second set may be wound on top of them, with. ARMATURES. 361 proper insulation between them ; 16 bars would have beenrequired had this method been adopted in Fig. 343. Themethod of varying the winding according to the potentialdesired is illustrated in Fig. 345, which represents the numberof wires per coil on an 8 H. P. dynamo when it is wound for125 volts, as in A ; 250 volts, in B ; 500 volts, in C. The sizeof the wires decreases as the voltage increases, since for thesame power the current will be less, and the turns increase indirect proportion to the voltage, there being 3, 6, and 12 turns
