| | PDF (2069 KB)

The m. m. f. waves of fractional slot windings or other irregular windings are found to contain harmonic components having wavelengths greater than two pole pitches. These are designated as sub-synchronous harmonics since their harmonic order is lower than that of the synchronously rotating wave. They induce currents in the damper windings of synchronous machines which may produce noticeable loss.... View full abstract»

It has generally been assumed that the total losses of a constant-current regulating transformer remain practically constant for all loads. Performance and test calculations have accordingly heretofore been made according to well-known conventional methods from the segregated losses determined from test or design data, assuming total losses constant. Extensive tests described in the paper show, ho... View full abstract»

In the case of high-speed turbine generators, the cost reliable means of determining the losses under actual operating conditions is to measure the weight and temperature rise of the cooling medium and to estimate the small part of the losses which is dissipated from the frame to the surrounding medium. The temperature rise of the cooling medium can be obtained by means of temperature detectors lo... View full abstract»

In outlining the history of voltage standardization, it is observed that there has been separate standardization of voltages of various types of apparatus, rather than standardization of a complete operating system. The results of a questionnaire answered by 22 operating companies are analyzed and the conclusion is drawn that the use of the old standard transformer voltages involved, in many cases...

This paper describes what is believed to be a new form of high-voltage joint. The main novelties in the joint are that the metallic union of the conductors is insulated by wrapping on a single sheet of wide, impregnated paper by machine. The ends of the cable insulation are cut into a series of steps, or a taper, and knives on the machine cut the wide sheet of paper exactly to fit the steps or tap... View full abstract»

Much work has been done on the breakdown of insulating oil at small spacings between electrodes. Information for electrode separations of several inches is not as complete. It has been found that sources of ionization external to the gap influence the gap breakdown, so that the design of electrode supports and parts is of great importance. Data on several sizes of spherically terminated rods or cy... View full abstract»
