Abstract: A voltage drop compensating reactor connected between the power distribution system and the load provides a flux shifting multiple-winding reactor with a capacitor bank connected between the reactor windings. At least one line winding is oriented in a first polarity on a core, and at least one compensating winding oriented in the opposite polarity on the core and connected between the output of the first winding and the load. The opposing fluxes generated by the line winding and the compensating winding cancel and the total reactance of the device is lower than the reactance of the line winding. The input of a cross-link circuit comprising a capacitor is connected between the line winding and the compensating winding. The reactance through the cross-link circuit to the neutral (or another phase) is lower than the reactance through the line winding.

Abstract: A harmonic mitigating device connected between the power distribution system and the load provides a flux shifting multiple-winding reactor with a capacitor bank connected between the reactor windings. At least one line winding is oriented in a first polarity on a core, and at least one compensating winding oriented in the opposite polarity on the core and connected between the output of the first winding and the load. The opposing fluxes generated by the line winding and the compensating winding cancel and thus reduce the through-reactance of the device between the load and the power supply. The input of a cross-link circuit comprising a capacitor is connected between the line winding and the compensating winding. The reactance through the cross-link circuit to the neutral (or another phase) is lower than the reactance through the line winding. Harmonic currents thus flow through the cross-link circuit, and are largely prevented from penetrating the power distribution system.

Abstract: An annular combustion chamber which has structural elements for delivery of primary air to sustain and stabilize burning and elements for admission of secondary air into the dilution zone. The primary air delivery elements intended for stabilization of burning are made so that at least two curved slotted passages are formed for tangential admission of the air into the combustion zone. The passage wall plates are concentric, being arranged so that the outer wall plate of each preceding passage is naturally the inner wall plate of the subsequent one displaced relative to the former in the downstream direction. The slotted passages have a substantially constant flow-passage along the entire annular combustion chamber periphery (length).
