  • Abstract
    This is the first of a series of papers explaining the theory and principles of operation of the brush-shifting a-c motor. Operation of the machine, either as a motor or a generator, is explained on the basis of the superposition of currents. The theory of the primary current loci is developed for both high-speed and low-speed adjustments. A method of determining the primary current loci from no-load measurements is presented. Experimental data have shown the theory to be valid.
