Title: Improvements in Dynamo-electric Machines.
Inventor: HOLT WILLIAM
IPC: H02K23/02
Filed: 1910-11-19
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 26,880. Holt, W. Nov. 19. Exciting.-To obtain a constant output from machines driven at varying speeds, as in train or motor-vehicle lighting, as the load increases the main field is automatically cut down by an opposing field due to currents generated in those short-circuited armature coils which cut the cross field. The main poles a, b are excited in the ordinary way and the cross field may be produced either by the armature currents or by windings placed on salient auxiliary poles c, d or in the faces of the main poles. Wide brushes, formed as one piece e, Fig. 1, or two pieces e', e, Fig. 3, joined by a conductor e<2> are placed on the neutral axis. Rotation in the cross flux of the conductors j or the interpole windings produces in the short-circuited conductors j<1> currents of which the field opposes the main field and so tends to keep the output constant. There may be only half as many auxiliary poles as main poles, or they may be entirely absent if the armature cross flux be sufficiently strong.
