ent will be as SELF-REGULATING TRANSMISSION PLANT. 205 suddenly checked ; but very rapid variations of currentthrough the fields are resisted by the self-induction ofthe magnets. There must thus always be a tendency toirregularity in the speed owing to a kind of surging ofenergy to and fro between… … pot, the kick from the magnets is principally taken up bythe shunt, and the machines are thereby able to attainmore quickly their steady working condition. Fig. 72 shows diagramatically the arrangement ofcircuits. As it might break down the insulation if the linewere opened by an ordinary switch,…
