The second harmonic error resulting from unbalanced loads has long been apparent to synchro manufacturers and users and has already been described.1 The secondary slot-harmonic error considered in this paper was predicted by the author while he was employed by the Eclipse-Pioneer Division of the Bendix Corporation. The existence of this error is not generally known, and its description has not been previously published. It is also shown that the minimum requirements for winding distributions are not the same in loaded and unloaded operation.","PeriodicalId":257050,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applications and Industry","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124024711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generator voltage and motor speed is controlled by an unidirectional trinistor control rectifier which supplies excitation to the generator main field. To reverse the drive, generator voltage must be reversed either by using a bias field or by connecting the trinistor in buck-boost across the single-machine field. In either case, the a-c nature of trinistor voltage tends to wipe out reverse ampereturns and prevent drive motor reversal. An external reactor in series with one machine field absorbs the a-c voltage and allows reversal of the drive motor. The size and inductance of the external reactor is to be determined from expressions and methods developed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":257050,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applications and Industry","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128170886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Movement of the rolls is accomplished by energizing a hydraulic actuator mechanically connected to a nut which, in turn, is superimposed on the stand screws. With this technique of control, roll opening changes exceeding 60 mils per second were achieved.","PeriodicalId":257050,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Applications and Industry","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128079719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Control systems with two non-linearities and with amplitude- and frequency-dependent describing functions may be designed advantageously. The method is particularly useful when the describing function appears as a variable pole of relevant transfer functions.
