The use of the SCPT is relatively new to
motor-generator application. Since the basic operation
of each core in the SCPT is identical, only one core will
be explained.
The basic operation of the SCPT is explained with
the aid of figure 1-31. It consists of two voltage primary
windings
and
two current primary windings
and
two secondary windings
and
and
a dc control winding
In figure 1-31, these windings are arranged on a
three-legged E-type lamination. For simplicity, consider

The SCPT is constructed in such a
manner that the current flow in the secondary is the sum
of the current that would be caused to flow by the
