Title: Improved Means, in connection with Electric Circuits, for Altering the Difference of Potential of Two Points of a Circuit between which a practically Constant Current has to Flow.
Filed: 1907-10-21
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 23,216. Felton & Guilleaume - Lah - meyerwerke Akt.-Ges. Oct. 19, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Distributing; regulating. - Relates to an auxiliary machine for altering the difference of potential of two points of a circuit between w h i c h a practically constant current is to be maintained, for example in charging a storage battery e, Fig. 1, and consists in providing the machine with a series field winding fi and an opposing shunt field winding fn, the excitation potential of which is the resultant of a constant electromotive force, such as a battery d, and of the terminal pressure of the machine. The shunt field winding fn tends to generate in the auxiliary machine z an electromotive force which is added to the central-station electromotive force, this tendency being opposed by the series winding fi. When the terminal pressure of the battery e increases, the machine z generates the additional pressure required to maintain the charging current constant. Fig. 3 shows the storage battery e replaced by a fly-wheel machine b, and the auxiliary battery d by a branch of a resistance r connected to the mains. The action of the series field winding may be adjusted by means of shunts, and the shunt field may be varied by changing the number of windings, or the resistance &c. Fig. 5 shows a load-equalizing system, in which the energy taken from an asynchronous motor m is, when the .number of revolutions decreases, returned to the shaft of the motor through a motor-generator n, comprising an asynchronous motor h and a directcurrent machine i having a constant excitation. The machine i is connected to an auxiliary machine z acting as a motor and arranged on the abaft of the motor m. The motor m may be used to drive machines which require a highly variable expenditure of energy, and which may be fitted with flywheels or other energy - storing devices. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also the following subject-matter :-In the case in which a machine z, arranged in accordance with Fig. 1, is connected in series with a direct-current fly-wheel machine instead of with the battery e, the current is stated to vary with the speed of the fly-wheel machine ; the speed may be kept below a certain value by the use of a centrifugal governor or other device for weakening the shunt field by cutting-in a resistance &c. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
