Definition of 'dynamo, alternating current, regulation of'
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
1. dynamo, alternating current, regulation of Transformers, converters, or induction coils are used to regulate alternating current dynamos, somewhat as compound winding is applied in the case of direct-current dynamos. The arrangement consists in connecting the primary of an induction coil or transformer into the externalcircuit with its secondary connected to the fieldcircuit. Thus the transformer conveys current to the field picked up from the main circuit, and represents to some extent the shunt of a direct-current machine.
