(3) Edison Three-Wire System. The combination of the Edison three-wire system with fieldweakening permits of a range of 4 to 1, with but 100 per centincrease in speed by the latter means, and, consequently, elimi-nates commutator troubles to a marked extent. The balanced three-wire system has been adopted quite generallyin the past for lighting purposes, and may be obtained either bymeans of standard generator, together with a separate balancer, orby providing the former with slip rings connected to an autotrans-former from the middle point of which the neutral is taken. Thelatter arrangement is advocated by manufacturers of this apparatus. The selection of motor to operate on three-wire system for the 606 DAY: MOTORS IN MACHINE SHOPS.
