Abstract :
Carbon-pile voltage regulator concepts are based on controlling the pressure on carbon plates stacked and arranged so that pressure may be applied at right angles to their surfaces. Varying this pressure by predetermined means varies the resistances of the stack. D-c generator field strength often is controlled by the resistance of such a stack to provide output voltage control.
