Abstract
An electromagnetic induction machine having inductively coupled primary, secondary and tertiary branch windings. The exciting current of the primary branch is transformed or reflected, via the inductive coupling, to an electrically separate secondary or tertiary branch. This reflected current in the isolated branch is sustained by connecting a capacitive load impedance to it. Thus, a floating parallel resonant circuit is formed which supplies the needed reactive component in lieu of the primary branch. Different winding techniques are then incorporated in the separate branches to maximize the available winding space and provide improved operating or performance characteristics.

A polyphase induction machine adapted to be supplied with polyphase power at a plurality of input terminals, said machine comprising:
- a rotatable rotor carrying a plurality of interconnected rotor windings;
- a stator operatively associated with said rotor;
- a plurality of primary stator windings disposed in said stator for each phase of said polyphase power and receiving, via one of said input terminals, a different phase of said polyphase power and adapted to be magnetically coupled to said rotor windings, each of said primary stator windings being in the form of an insulated form coil;
- first means for electrically connecting said primary stator windings in a first configuration;
- a plurality of secondary stator windings disposed in said stator such that said secondary stator windings are not electrically connected to said input terminals, are not electrically connected to said primary stator windings, and are adapted to be magnetically coupled to said primary windings and magnetically coupled to said rotor windings when said machine is operating, each of said secondary stator windings exhibiting an inductive reactance, and being in the form of a random coil;
- second means for electrically connecting said secondary stator windings in a second configuration;
- and
- a capacitor exhibiting a capacitive reactance and being provided for each secondary stator winding wherein said capacitor is electrically connected across at least one of said secondary stator windings and is of such a size as to form a parallel floating resonant circuit with said at least one of said secondary stator windings where said capacitive and inductive reactances will be equal at a predetermined resonant frequency.
