{wiki=Winding_factor}
The winding factor, often denoted as \\( k_w \\) or \\( k_f \\), is a critical parameter in the design and analysis of electric machines, particularly in the context of AC machines like synchronous and induction motors, as well as transformers. It is a measure of how effectively the windings of an electric machine contribute to the production of a magnetic field and the induced electromotive force (EMF).
