Opening Source Excerpt

Section titled “Opening Source Excerpt”
XIV. Three-wire Generator and Converter 107. A machine based upon the principle of the direct-current converter is frequently used to supply a three- wire direct-current distribution system (Edison system). This machine may be a single generator or synchronous converter, which is designed for the voltage between the outside conductors of the circuit (the positive and the negative conductor), 220 to 280 volts, while the middle conductor of the system, or neutral conductor, is con- SYNCHRONOUS CONVERTERS 271 nected to the generator by autotransformer and collector rings, or, in the case of a synchronous converter, is connected to the neutral of the step-up transformers, and the latter thus used as autotransformers. -*; to v 2 "* n C, 2 0 1 , o )T ' k g to t.< 2 FIG. 146. — Three-wire machine with

Promotion Checklist

Section titled “Promotion Checklist”
  1. Open the full source text and the scan or raw PDF.
  2. Verify the chapter boundary and surrounding context.
  3. Promote exact quotations only after checking the source image.
  4. Move mathematical candidates into canonical equation pages only after formula typography is corrected.
  5. Move diagram candidates into the diagram archive only after image extraction, crop verification, and manifest creation.
  6. Keep Steinmetz wording, modern translation, and ether-field interpretation in separate labeled layers.
