Winding inductances have a natural trend to grow with increasing size. This may cause problems to electrical machines if, within a wide size range, the required per-unit values of certain reactances are more or less fixed. After having touched the transformer situation, two electrical machine solutions will be discussed: partial compartmentization of winding; interdependence of frequency and pole number.
