Summary

Illustration Description

Figure 2035 -- Diagram of two-phase rotary converter

• This is identical with the single-phase machine with the exception that another pair of collector rings are added, and connected to points on the windings at right angles to the first, giving four brushes on the alternating side for two-phase current.
• The voltage will be the same for each phase as in the single-phase rotary.
• Neglecting losses, the current for each phase will be equal to the DC amperage × .707
