Title: Concatenated Control of Alternating Current Motors.
Inventor: MERSHON RALPH DAVENPORT
Filed: 1907-03-07
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 5564. Mershon, R. D. March 7. Motors, controlling.-The speed steps in a concatenated system of induction-motor control are effected without cutting out any of the motors, by changing the numbers of poles of the motors, and by varying res'stance, inductance, or capacity arranged in the secondary circuit of the last motor of the system. To reduce the voltage drop between the several motors, condensers are placed in parallel with their primary windings, and also in the secondary circuit of the last motor of the system, as described in Specification No. 5564A, A.D. 1907. The Figure shows two motors A, B connected through a controller C to a two-phase source G. Each stator winding P, P<1> is tapped at eight points for connexion as a four or two pole machine. Each rotor carries a four-pole winding S and a two-pole winding S<2>, opposite tappings on the former being connected through auto-transformers or choking-coils c<1>. Leads from the middle points of the coils c<1> are connected to stationary controller contacts, and also to the tappings on the winding S'. Alternatively, two windings of different pole numbers may be provided on the stators, and the separate rotor windings may ba replaced by a single winding having. means for changing the pole-number. In the first position of the controller, the primary winding P of the motor A is connected to the mains G through auto-transformers or choking-coils c, and the secondary winding S communicates through the choking-coils c<1>, slip-rings (not shown), other choking-coils or auto-transformers c<2>, and controller contacts with the primary winding P<1> of the motor B, the secondary winding S of which is short circuited through resistance, inductance, or capacity R, employed either separately orin any combination. The motors then have a speed equal to that of a motor having eight poles. In the second position of the controller, the resistance &c. R is cut-out. The third position of the controller serves to connect the primary winding P of the motor A for two poles, and its secondary winding S being now in non-inductive relation to the primary winding, the twopole winding S<2> comes into action, its currents being passed into the four-pole primary winding of the motor B, the secondary of which is short-circuited through the resistance &c. R. The speed of the motors now corresponds to that of a motor having six poles. The fourth position of the controller serves to cut out the regulating-device R. In the fifth and sixth positions, the motors A, B are placed in parallel with four and two poles each, respectively. To reduce the voltage drop between the several motors, condensers D, D<1>, which may be of an electrolytic character, are connected in parallel with the leads running between the primary and secondary windings. The invention is also applicable to single-phase motors.
