Andwe also understand why builders have been led to saturate theiralternators more and more. This saturation, resulting in the re-duction of fall in the actual voltage, kinetic variation included,which occurs when there is an increase of Fig. 3.— Characteristics of alternator working at constant loadindependent of speed. The same observations, with a few variations, might apply tothe continuous-current dynamos which feed motors; but we neednot delay over this point. Compound Alternators. It is not a question here of alternators with revolving fieldframes and collector rings, but of standard compounded alternatorsfurnished with a special exciter, in which the continuous currentis produced by means of alternating currents issuing from thearmature of the alternator, varying in strength with the outputand the cos. f of that output, by the use of a compounded con-verter, or otherwise. We will suppose that in such a system the exciter is always suffi-ciently far from saturation for us to suppose that the currents BOUGHEROT: VARIATIONS. tf77 and flux are proportional, and that stability is obtained entirelyby the saturation of the alter
