Abstract
Abstract A squirrel-cage motor of the ferroresonant type, having two pairs of stator windings in series with respective tuning condensers energized in parallel from a source of alternating current, is provided with a feedback winding on each stator pole designed to aid or to oppose an applied control signal, all the feedback windings being connected in series across two branches of a phase-discriminating network extending from a common terminal to symmetrical taps on two parallel stator windings. Each branch includes a resistor in series with a diode, the two diodes being oppositely poled so that a voltage difference is generated across the feedback circuit upon a relative phase shift of the currents traversing the two pairs of stator windings. The common terminal is energized by an AC voltage in step with the supply voltage through a transformer or a resistive voltage divider.
