Abstract:
A rotary induction generator comprising a stator having wound thereon windings defining a three-phase stator;a rotor mounted for rotation in said stator and having wound thereon three rotor windings defining a three-phase rotor;said three-phase stator windings adapted to be connected to a source of electrical power and serving as excitation windings whereby the applied voltage causes current to flow in said three-phase windings and provide a rotating magnetic field;said other three-phase rotor windings are coupled to said magnetic field whereby currents are produced in both said rotor and stator windings in proportion to the speed of rotation of the rotor, which is in turn in proportion to the speed and power of the prime mover;a rotary transformer, the primary windings of which are mounted to rotate with the generator rotor, is connected in series with the generator rotor windings, and the secondary windings of which are connected in parallel with resistive means.
