ABSTRACT:
An asynchronous converter comprises a torque motor and a rotating electric machine having two sets of windings, each of the windings connected to a respective polyphase electric circuit. The two windings have the same number of magnetic poles and generate coincident rotating magnetic fields having the same direction of rotation. When a torque is applied (e.g., to the shaft of a rotor carrying one of the windings) in the same direction as that of the rotating magnetic fields, electric power is transferred from the rotor-connected circuit to the stator-connected circuit. When the direction of the torque is reversed, the direction of the power transfer is also reversed. The two polyphase circuits may differ in voltage, in frequency and in number of electrical phases, but it is expected that in most cases the number of phases will be equal to three for both circuits and the operating frequencies of the two circuits will differ by no more than a few percent.
