  2. Two-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-phase_electric_power

    A simplified diagram of a two-phase alternator [1] Two-phase electrical power was an early 20th-century polyphase alternating current electric power distribution system. Two circuits were used, with voltage phases differing by one-quarter of a cycle, 90°. Usually circuits used four wires, two for each phase.

  4. Polyphase system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphase_system

    One voltage cycle of a three-phase system. A polyphase system (the term coined by Silvanus Thompson) is a means of distributing alternating-current (AC) electrical power that utilizes more than one AC phase, which refers to the phase offset value (in degrees) between AC in multiple conducting wires; phases may also refer to the corresponding terminals and conductors, as in color codes.

  5. File:Diagram of single-phase generator with two poles.svg

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Diagram_of_single...

    English: Diagram of revolving-field single phase generator with two poles. As the rotor turns, the lines of force at two poles are cut by the coils inducing current. The output from two coils are "in phase". The direction of current changes to the opposite site every 180 degrees of rotation.

  6. Rotating magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_magnetic_field

    The rotating magnetic field is the key principle in the operation of induction machines.The induction motor consists of a stator and rotor.In the stator a group of fixed windings are so arranged that a two phase current, for example, produces a magnetic field which rotates at an angular velocity determined by the frequency of the alternating current.

  7. Synchroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchroscope

    If two electrical networks operating at two different phase angles were to be connected to each other, a fault similar to a short circuit would occur, presenting a hazard of damage to the generator or other equipment. The position (as opposed to rotation) of the pointer on a synchroscope indicates the phase angle between the two systems.

  8. Linear transformation in rotating electrical machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_transformation_in...

    Transformation of three phase electrical quantities to two phase quantities is a usual practice to simplify analysis of three phase electrical circuits. Polyphase a.c machines can be represented by an equivalent two phase model provided the rotating polyphases winding in rotor and the stationary polyphase windings in stator can be expressed in a fictitious two axes coils.

  9. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

    1909 500 kW Westinghouse rotary converter. A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine which acts as a mechanical rectifier, inverter or frequency converter.. Rotary converters were used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), or DC to AC power, before the advent of chemical or solid state power rectification and inverting.
