Title: Improvements relating to Electric Motors
Inventor: LATOUR MARIUS
Filed: 1904-06-15
Granted: 1905-06-15
Abstract: 13,585. Latour, M. June 19, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Motors, alternating-current.-The repulsion motor described in Specification No. 1494, A.D. 1904, is transformed into one of the induction type, when the speed reaches synchronism, by closing an interrupter I between the short-circuiting connections c<1>, d<1>, c<2>, d<2> on the rotor, which are arranged at 45‹ to the line of the stator terminals. Alternatively, the points c<1>, d' and c<2>, d<1> may be connected at synchronism by means of two interrupters. For operation without phase displacement, a suitable external electromotive force is applied at the terminals of the open interrupter I. This electromotive force may be supplied either from a transformer receiving its primary current from auxiliary terminals e<1>, f<1> on the stator, or from an auxiliary coil wound on the stator and generally arranged in a direction perpendicular to the lines c<1>, c<2>, d<1>, d<2>.
