Abstract:
This disclosure deals with a motor technique for enabling the running at speeds higher than 3600 r. p. m. , for 60 c. p. s. excitation, without the previously required commutators, brushes, gear boxes or frequency changers, through novel sequence switching of different selected portions of three-phase power, controlled to cause multiple magnetic pole energization at different times from different power phases in order to produce successive phase-displaced resultant waveforms that are substantially sinusoidal but of a multiple of 60 c. p. s.
