In the recording pyrometers, an automatic compensator is employed.
A compensator or reactance coil D, between the two halves of which there is minimum magnetic leakage, is connected to C and C' by brushes, and has its middle point tapped and connected to the neutral wire E.
In order to balance any wire or piece of iron placed in a position east and west, a magnetic compensatoris used, consisting of a powerful bar magnet free to revolve upon a central pivot placed at a distance of 30 or more cm.
The idea of employing a magnet as compensator in a magnetic balance is not new, this disposition having been used by Prof.
The voltmeter coil of the compensator is connected in series with the secondary coils of two transformers, which coils work against each other.
If there is no inductive drop on the transmission line, or if this drop is of known and constant amount, the compensator may give the actual voltage at the point for which the regulation is designed.
Three Wire Compensator System=, in which two auxiliary dynamos A and B called compensators or equalizers, are coupled together and connected to the system as shown in fig.
Each compensator generates one-half as much pressure as the main dynamo D, and serves to equalize the pressure and the load, the compensator on the lightly loaded side operating as a motor and driving the other as a dynamo.
When it is desired to obtain pure gases, there is introduced into the compensator a solution of tartaric acid, which retains the traces of alkalies carried along by the current of gas.
The compensator is, as may be seen, nothing more than a double Mariotte flask.
The secondary of a pressure transformer is connected in series with the compensator inductance and resistance, and the secondary of a current transformer as shown in the diagram, fig.
A starting compensatoris similar to a rheostat except that inductive windings are used in place of the resistance grids.
For balanced two phase circuits one compensator and one transformer connected in one of the phases is sufficient.
The compensator consists of~ a core and windings, a cable clamp, and a switch, assembled in a substantial metal case with external operating handle and release lever.
Diagram of connections of General Electric two phase starting compensator with no voltage release and fuses.
The elements of a line drop compensator are a variable resistance, and a variable inductance.
For three phase circuits the compensator should be connected by means of two series transformers.
No provision is made for line drop compensation, although this can be obtained by installing a current transformer and a line drop compensator externally to the regulator.
In case of overload, the relay armature is raised and at the end of its travel, opens the small switch at the top which in turn opens the circuit of the low voltage release coil causing the compensator switch to return to the "off" position.
In the starting position~, the switch connects the line to the ends and the motor to the taps of the compensator winding without overload relays or fuses in circuit.
The shaft of the switch extends through the sides of the compensator case, and is operated by a lever at the right, being held in the running position by a lever at the left.
For single phase circuits, one compensator and one series transformer, that is the instrument as listed with transformers, will give correct indications for a single phase circuit.
It is practically the same, except for the introduction of an extra ammeter and a compensator in each of the outside wires, and in the use of a four pole switch in place of the two pole main switch.
But the screw cone system is not the only compensator used in sewing machinery; where it cannot be easily introduced, other devices have been employed.
The sensation swiftly lifted as the compensator took up the load.
I hope their compensator worked as well as ours," he said.
The compensator is very simple and not at all likely to get out of order.
This type of transformer has only a limited use, usually as compensator for motor starting boxes.
What is the auto-transformer or compensatormethod of starting?
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "compensator" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: bursar; cashier; device; generator; parts; paymaster; purser; relay; treasurer
