Title: Improvements in or relating to dynamo-electric generators
IPC: H02K17/38
Filed: 1929-03-28
Abstract: 308,832. Forges et Ateliers de Constructions Electriques de Jeumont. March 30, 1928, [Convention date]. Alternating-current induction machines.-In a cascaded group of machines working as an autonomous asynchronous generator (i.e. one which will feed a supply network at substantially constant voltage and frequency without the assistance of another machine, such as a synchronous generator, feeding the same network) an auxiliary synchronous machine is coupled in parallel with the primary winding of the main induction machine of the cascaded group to furnish the magnetizing current. Fig. 3 shows the application to a cascaded group comprising the known arrangement of a main induction machine A with its primary windings P connected to the network N and its secondary R connected to a frequency converter F the rings of which are connected to the network N. The Specification contains an analysis of the working of such a group and the control of the power taken from or supplied to the network by the set by the known method of rocking the brushes of the frequency converter. According to the invention, a small synchronous magnetizing machine C, driven by a motor M and having variable excitation, is connected across the winding P for supplying variable magnetizing current. The machine C is excited so as to give the normal voltage at the terminals P, the machine A being driven at the desired no-load speed and the brushes of the frequency converter being correspondingly set to give the network frequency. The generator characteristic of the machine A is so chosen that at no-load the whole or nearly the whole of the magnetizing power is supplied by the machine A. The balance necessary for working under load is then supplied by the machine- C. After the set has been put into service, the motor M is disconnected from the supply and the machine C then acts as a synchronous condenser and the voltage of the set as a constant speed asyrchronous generator irrespective of residual magnetism in the main case may be maintained by regulating the excitation of the machine C.

[Also in Division B1] In apparatus for making polyurethane foam (see Division B1) the material flow rates are maintained constant over a range of pressures by automatic flow control valves, Fig. 3, each having a partly hollow differential piston 32, 33; material enters at 28 and passes through the ports 39 into the interior of the piston, through passage 40, needle valve 35, chamber 37 and outlet 29. The pressure in chamber 37 is transmitted to the further end of the piston by passage 38 so that the ends of the piston are acted upon by the difference in pressure across the needle valve 35, which is balanced by spring 34. A fall in inlet pressure will allow the spring 34 to move the piston to the left as shown in the Figure, uncovering more of the ports 39 so that the flow rate is maintained.
