Title: Improvements in Dynamo-electric Machines.
Inventor: STEINMETZ CHARLES PROTEUS
Filed: 1906-08-03
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 17,560. Steinmetz, C. P. Aug. 7, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dynamos, regulating.-The current in the exciter circuit of a dynamo having polyphase generating and exciting windings is regulated automatically so as to maintain a constant voltage between the generator terminals or a constant potential at some selected point of the circuit. The field winding of an alternator 1 resembling an ordinary induction motor is excited by a machine 17 giving lowfrequency polyphase currents and having its own field excited by a small direct current dynamo 18, as described in Specification No. 1068, A.D. 1903. The rotor of the generator being rotated in such a manner that currents produced in the generating- windings of the stator have a frequency corresponding to the difference of the frequencies due to the mechanical rotation of the machine and to the rotation of the field due to the exciting-currents, the generator then operates in the manner of an induction motor driven above synchronism, and each member of the generator generates current, the currents flowing to the distributing-circuit and to the exciter respectively. The current traversing the resistances in the exciter circuit falls in potential, and, as the currents in the rotor and stator of the generator are produced by the same flux, an increase in the load of the generator increases the voltage supplied to the exciter circuit, so that, assuming that the voltage of the exciter is maintained constant, the voltage of the generator may be adjusted by varying the resistance in the exciter circuits. Adjustable resistances 21, 22, 23 are connected in series with the exciter leads, and are adapted to be short-circuited by vibratory short-circuiting apparatus, similar to that described in Specification No. 14,294, A.D. 1902, and comprising relay magnets 32-which may be energized by the dynamo 18-adjustable fixed contacts 30, and movable contacts 29 attached to armatures 33 and kept in touch with the contacts 30 by springs 31. The circuit of the relay magnets is made and broken by a magnet 38 connected across two of the distribution leads or to any part of the system where constant potential is desired and acting upon a vibrating armature 40. The resistances 21, 22, 23 are so chosen that, when the short-circuits are open, there is an excess of resistance in the exciter circuit and the voltage of the main generator will rise too high, while, when the resistances are shortcircuited, the voltage will be too low. The variations in voltage operating through the magnet 38 produce a continuous vibration of the armature 40 and the relay armatures, and this is so rapid that the voltage of the main generator remains practically constant.
