Granted: 1910-05-12
Abstract: 6758. Durtnall, W. P. March 20. Electric equipment.-In an electric transmission system for lifting, hauling, winding, &c. an alternator is driven by a prime mover, and the primary of an induction motor supplied from the alternator is secured to the shaft of the prime mover. The shaft B is shown carrying the rotatable magnet A of the alternator, the coils &c. E of an electromagnetic clutch, and the primary F of the induction motor. The secondary G of the motor is mounted on the driven shaft H, which also carries the armature T of the clutch. When the exciter J is connected in circuit as shown, a current flows from it through the slip-ring K and field winding A of the alternator to the frame D. Three-phase current is then supplied from the armature C through the switch M to the motor primary F, in such a manner that its field revolves in the opposite direction to the primary winding F, which is driven by the prime mover. The secondary G then rotates at its first speed. To obtain the second speed, the machine J is switched over from the alternator field to supply the winding E of the clutch through the slip ring S. The shaft H is then directiy driven by the prime-mover shaft B through the clutch. To obtain the third speed, the clutch is de-energized and the alternator field again supplied by the machine J. The switch M is operated to reverse two of the phases of the current supplied to the motor, so that the field revolves in the same direction as the primary F is driven from the engine. If a series-wound exciter is used, a switch for short circuiting the field coils may be provided, and may be operated by the pedal before the rootbrakes are put on. The short-circuiting switch may also be operated from the switch gear, hand brakes, &c., so that all changes occur under no-volt conditions. Further speed variarions may be obtained by mounting the alternator armature C in suitable bearings and checking its rotation by means of a brake. The pole ratio of the alternator and motor may also be varied. Suitable reversing- gear may be employed between the shaft H and the final drive to the winding drum &c. Continuous current machines may be used instead of the alternating-current machines described.
