Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrical Power Transmission Systems.
Filed: 1908-05-25
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 11,344. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Dawson, W. F. May 25. Distributing.- In electric power transmission systems, particularly systems operating hoists, rolling-mills, winding -apparatus, &c., the load on the mains is equalized by employing a rotary transformer or motor-generator for supplying current to the working motor, and simultaneously controlling the generator voltage and the field strength of the working motor. The field windings g, m of the generator G and working motor M are connected in parallel across the exciter terminals t, t<1>. The strength of the field g is increased and that of the field m decreased, or vice versa, by sliding a contact c over a resistance a. The sliding contact c is controlled by a regulator motor operated by a current proportional to the current. supplied to the transformer motor, this current varying with the load on the working motor M.
