Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
A CONTROL SYSTEM FOR REGULATING THE D.-C. VOLTAGE APPLIED TO D.-C. MOTOR SYSTEM FROM AN A.-C. SOURCE COMPRISING: (A) MEANS CONNECTABLE TO SUCH A.-C. SOURCE FOR ESTABLISHING A PLURALITY OF D.-C. VOLTAGE BLOCKS REPRESENTING INCREMENTS OF D.-C. VOLTAGE TO BE APPLIED TO THE POWER CIRCUIT OF SAID MOTOR SYSTEM, (B) AT LEAST ONE OF SAID BLOCKS BEING AN ADJUSTABLE VOLTAGE BLOCK INCLUDING PHASE CONTROLLED IMPEDANCE MEANS FOR REGULATING THE OUTPUT D.-C. VOLTAGE MAGNITUDE OF SAID BLOCK OVER A PRESELECTED RANGE IN RESPONSE TO ADJUSTMENT OF SUCH PHASE CONTROLLED IMPEDANCE MEANS, (C) MEANS FOR SEQUENTIALLY SWITCHING SAID D.-C. VOLTAGE BLOCKS INTO AND OUT OF THE POWER CIRCUIT OF SAID D.-C. MOTORS TO CONTROL THE D.-C. VOLTAGE APPLIED TO SAID MOTOR SYSTEM, AND (D) MEANS RESPONSIVE TO SAID SWITCHING ACTION FOR AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTING SAID ADJUSTABLE VOLTAGE BLOCK BACK TO A PRESELECTED REDUCED VOLTAGE LEVEL TO PERMIT MODULATION OF SAID ADJUSTABLE VOLTAGE BLOCK TO BE INITIATED AT SAID REDUCED VOLTAGE LEVEL UPON THE SWITCHING OF AN ADDITIONAL VOLTAGE BLOCK INTO THE POWER CIRCUIT OF SAID MOTOR SYSTEM.
