Used in connection with externalreactances, this type of machine is standard for railway work. Therange in voltage obtainable is just about sufficient to take care ofthe… … Fig. 213. General Electric 600 Volt Compound-Wound Rotary Converter changes the phase of the current just as in a synchronous motor, andalso that a lagging alternating current passing through an inductivecircuit causes a decrease in voltage while a leading current w^ill causea rise. Therefore, by…
