Abstract
Abstract When an electromagnetic coupling having two rotors is connected mechanically with a direct current commutating machine, in such a way that a rotor is used in common as one of the two rotors of the electromagnetic coupling and as a rotor of the direct current commutating machine, the electric machine arrangement can be a power transmitting device which is of high efficiency and has a simple construction. If the rotor shaft of the direct current commutating machine is connected mechanically with a load, and the other rotor of the electromagnetic coupling is driven by a driving machine such as a prime mover, further rectifiers are electrically connected between armature windings of the direct current commutating machine and the electromagnetic coupling, the load can be controlled over a wide speed range.
