Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A DC motor including a series field winding having a plurality of taps and means including a switch for connecting one of the taps with an input to the motor, said switch also being connected to means for measuring an operating state of the motor and supplying a signal to the switch in order to cause the switch to switch between said taps and thereby change the effective turn ratio in response to changes in said state.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A DC motor including a series field winding having a plurality of taps and means including a switch for connecting one of the taps with an input to the motor, said switch also being connected to means for measuring an operating state of the motor and supplying a signal to the switch in order to cause the switch to switch between said taps and thereby change the effective turn ratio in response to changes in said state.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said measuring means comprises means for measuring a load current.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said measuring means comprises means for measuring motor speed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said measuring means comprises means for measuring electromotive force in the armature.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A motor as claimed in claim 1, further comprising means for measuring a voltage across inputs of the motor and supplying a signal representative of said voltage to said switch.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said motor is a shunt motor which further comprises a shunt winding.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
A motor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said switch is arranged to increase the effective excitation turn ratio of the series field winding upon detection of a decrease in load current, and to switch to a lower effective excitation turn ratio when the load current rises.
