In an automatic voltage-control system for an alternator in which the field of an A.C. exciter is controlled by a magnetic amplifier in response to the difference between the alternator voltage and a reference voltage, the reference voltage is produced by a saturable choke with a permanent magnet bias which is arranged to pass a constant current from a variablevoltage source. The alternator 10 is excited over rectifier 34 from an A.C. generator 28, the field of which is energized via transductor 110, 112 and rectifier 126 from the output of an auxiliary A.C. generator 40. Transductor 110, 112 is controlled by a transductor 88, 90, the input to which is the resultant of the opposed voltages across resistors 84, 86. A voltage proportional to the rate of change of field current of generator 28 is obtained from resistor 130 and transformer 132 and also controls transductor 88, 90. Across resistor 84 there is a voltage proportional to alternator output obtained from potential transformers 78, 82 and rectifier 60. Across resistor 86 is a constant reference potential obtained by rectifying the voltage drop across an adjustable resistor 76. This is energized from the alternator output via a saturable choke 68 which, due to its permanent magnet bias, passes a constant current over a limited range of input voltages. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the output of a threephase rectifier connected to the three-phase alternator output is used instead of the output of the single-phase rectifier 60.</p> |
