Abstract

ABSTRACT“Combining Hydraulic Torque Converters with A‐C Motors”—Wayne Howard; Electrical Manufacturing, V. 59, n. 2, Feb. 1957, pp. 90–93, 330. Hydraulic torque converters coupled with a.c. motors enable designers to select speed‐torque characteristics to suit high inertia loads. The hydraulic torque converter eliminates the need for disconnect clutches and also simplifies the starting systems. It serves an additional role as an overload protection. For constant load or constant speed applications, the torque converter should not be used. Where heavy starting and wide variations in load demands are encountered the hydraulic torque converter can be used to advantage. Discussion includes torque converter principles, performance, applications and motor‐converter combinations.
