Abstract: 11,853. Johnson, J. Y., [Felten & Guilleaume- Lahmeyerwerke Akt.-Ges.]. May 21. Distributing ; regulating. - In installations in which a main driving-motor a, Fig. 1, an intermediate machine b, and an auxiliary machine c are mounted on the same shaft, a buffer battery being connected in parallel with the machine c, fluctuations of load are compensated for by means of an output regulator having a watt-meter action included in one or other of the circuits and controlling the charging and discharging of the battery. The field g of the intermediate machine b may be reversed, and the potential of the machine so adjusted that the current supplied, e.g. to a hoisting-motor d, is zero. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the regulator l, connected with the mains as shown, varies the excitation of the field windings f, g of the machines c, b. In a modification, shown in Fig. 2, a booster k driven by a motor n regulates the charging and discharging of the battery, the booster field being controlled by the output regulator. Instead of a booster, other potential regulators may be employed. In another modification, shown in Fig. 3, the booster k is driven by a motor from the alternating-current mains, while the output regulator is provided with four windings n, o, n<1>, o<1>, two being placed in the circuit of the auxiliary and intermediate machines, and two in the circuit of the battery and booster. In a further modification, the booster k is mounted upon the same shaft as the machine b, c, the windings of the output regulator being arranged as in Figs. 1 and 2.
