Abstract :
SINCE WORLD WAR II, the increased use of direct current for ship propulsion, aircraft systems, and feedback control systems has refocused attention on the potentialities offered by d-c machines in many novel forms. However, the full possibilities of these machines can be realized only after consideration of a more general class of machines known as metadynes. This article presents an analysis of the transient performance of one fundamental type: the so-called S-generator or cross-connected metadyne.
