Abstract
Abstract An electrical three-phase generator and motor control circuit. The generator is made of three alike wave-generating units in cascade each generating a respective trapezoidal wave corresponding to a respective phase of the generator. Each unit comprises a small detector in series with a control circuit varying the amplitude of the wave proportionately to a control voltage representative of and corresponding to variations of voltage from voltage sources and applied to a motor and an integrating circuit consisting of an integrating amplifier and an integrating capacitor and a double limiter in parallel therewith. The control voltage is developed by a voltage divider across the motor control circuit.
