Patent GB-190628503-A (GB)
Title: Improved Method of Controlling Dynamo Electric Machines and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: BONINE CHARLES EDWARD
Filed: 1906-12-13
Granted: 1907-12-13
Abstract: 28,503. Bonine, C. E. Feb. 17, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Switches.-The speed of a motor or the output of a generator having sectionally-wound field poles is regulated by coupling up the winding sections in series and in parallel, and short-circuiting some or all of them both directly and through resistances, without opening the motor circuit or greatly reducing the number of breaks therein. The invention is particularly applicable to railway motors and to machines having commutating- poles. The windings on each field pole, as shown in Fig. 1, are each divided into two sections, the ends 3, 4, &c. of which are connected to the similarly-numbered stationary contacts 3<1>, 4<1>, &c. of a controller P. To prevent excessive length of the controller, the contacts are preferably divided into two rows 3<1>, 4<1>, &c. and 26, 27, &c., as shown. The right-hand half of the controller operates mainly the series parallel connexions of the winding sections, the left-hand portion serving to short-circuit sections of the winding through the resistances r, r<1>, r<2>, r<3>. A. reversing- switch Q is added for interchanging the connexions of the armature K and commutating- windings F, G, &c. At starting, the field-winding sections, armature, and commutating-windings are in series with the resistance R, the first three steps of the controller cutting the resistance out of circuit. In the position 6, one of the winding . sections on each pole is bridged by one of the resistances r, r<1>, r<2>, r<3>; in the position 7, the entire windings on alternate poles are bridged by the resistances r, r<1> and r<2>, r<3> connected in series, Fig. 6 ; in the position 8, the whole field winding is short-circuited by the sum of the resistances r, r<1>, r<2>, r<3>. In the position 9, the winding sections on each pole are connected in parallel, and the parallel paths are joined in series with one another, the connexions of the positions 7, 8 being next repeated. Figs. 12 and 15 show some of the subsequent connexions with modified series parallel arrangements. Fig. 17 shows a modified arrangement with the cross-connexions at each junction omitted. A four-pole machine is described in which the winding on each field pole is divided into three sections, and corresponding sections on each field pole are connected in series forming three groups of four sections each, each group be ng treated as a unit in the control arrangements, whereby an even flux distribution is maintained around the armature. The control is effected by the short-circuit system, Figs. 23, 25, and 27 showing some of the connexions at different stages of the control ; or, as in Figure 31, individual sections may also be short-circuited. Two or more motors may be regulated in the above manner.
