Wiring schematic for a simplified bipolar-field Gramme-ring single-phase–to–direct-current rotary converter. (In actual use, the converter is drum-wound and uses a multipolar field.) [2] Wiring schematic for a simplified two-phase–to–direct-current rotary converter, with the second phase connected at right angles to the first [3] Wiring schematic for a simplified three-phase–to ...
An American Rotary Phase Converter with a Transformer. A phase converter is a device that converts electric power provided as single phase to multiple phase or vice versa. The majority of phase converters are used to produce three-phase electric power from a single-phase source, thus allowing the operation of three-phase equipment at a site that only has single-phase electrical service.
Demand exists for phase converters due to the use of three-phase motors. With increasing power output, three-phase motors have preferable characteristics to single-phase motors; the latter not being available in sizes over 15 hp (11 kW) and, though available, rarely seen larger than 5 hp (3.7 kW).
Pre-production model of Koenigsegg Jesko at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show with its Dihedral Synchro-Helix Actuation Doors open Koenigsegg CCX with dihedral doors open. The dihedral synchro-helix actuation door system is a type of door with a hinge mechanism which allows the doors to rotate 90° by sweeping outwards and upwards at the ...
A suicide door on a Delahaye Type 135 Lincoln Continental with rear suicide doors, left-side doors open. A suicide door is an automobile door hinged at its rear rather than the front. [1] Such doors were originally used on horse-drawn carriages [2] but are rarely found on modern vehicles, primarily because they are less safe than front-hinged ...
It was the first French car to sell over a million units, and was superseded by the Dauphine. The 4CV was of monocoque construction, [2] 3.6 m (11 ft 10 in) in length with front suicide doors. [6] CV is the abbreviation of chevaux-vapeur, the French equivalent to "horsepower" as a unit of power. The name 4CV thus refers to the car's tax horsepower.
A single-phase, three-winding converter transformer. The converter transformers step up the voltage of the AC supply network. Using a star-to-delta or " wye-delta " connection of the transformer windings, the converter can operate with 12 pulses for each cycle in the AC supply, which eliminates numerous harmonic current components.
The car was sold to a museum in 1963, but its owner was unaware of the car's rarity and used it as a donor to other Cadillac models in its collection. The car then spent over 50 years in storage until it was purchased by another museum, where it is currently on display in Caçapava . [ 43 ]
