The Edison Motor is the Edison dynamo operated as a motor, with merely such changes as are necessary in reversing the direction of rotation of the armature. The differences between it and the incandescent dynamo of a similar size are scarcely discernible, and the windings are practically identical, except in the machines designed for special purposes. Fig. 38 shows the complete machine. The type and general appearance remain the same up to the 150 horse-power motor, corresponding to the larger Edison dynamos. Fig. 39 shows the diagram of connections, both of the motor itself and of the rheostat. The speed of the motors is very nearly that of the corresponding sizes of dynamo of the same voltage, and ranges from 2,100 revolutions per minute in the ¼ and ½ horse-power motors, to as low as 360 in the 150 horse-power machine. |
