ROTOR FIELD FEEDBACK AND AUXILIARY POWER

The AC voltage developed in the field winding is fed to the full wave bridge. The DC output of the bridge is fil- tered by the field capacitor and controlled by the out- put rheostat.

This filtered and controlled feedback voltage is fed to the rotor winding via the brush and slip ring configura- tion. As the feedback voltage is increased or de- creased, the outputs of the weld and auxiliary wind- ings are likewise increased or decreased.

When full field voltage is applied to the rotor and the engine is running at high speed (3700 RPM), a 230 VAC voltage is developed in the stator auxiliary wind- ing. This winding is tapped to provide 115 VAC. The two voltages (115 VAC and 230 VAC) are connected to the appropriate receptacles and offer 4000 watts (total) of AC power.
