Voltage and power factor regulator using poly-unit, polyphase saturable reactor

Claim 1

IN A VOLTAGE REGULATOR FOR A POLYPHASE SYSTEM, THE COMBINATION INCLUDING A POLYPHASE A.C. POWER SOURCE, REACTOR MEANS SERIALLY CONNECTING SAID POWER SOURCE TO A POLYPHASE LOAD, POLY-UNIT SATURABLE REACTOR MEANS, CAPACITIVE MEANS CONNECTING SAID POLY-UNIT POLYPHASE SATURABLE REACTOR MEANS IN SHUNT WITH SAID LOAD, SAIDE CAPACITIVE MEANS BEING ADAPTED TO COMPENSATE FOR THE SATURATED REACTANCE OF SAID POLY-UNIT POLYPHASE SATURABLE REACTOR MEANS SO AS TO PROVIDE A SUBSTANTIALLY FLAT VOLT-AMPERE CHARACTERISTIC TO SAID POLY-UNIT POLYPHASE SATURABLE REACTOR MEANS AFTER SATURATION, AND ADDITIONAL CAPACITIVE MEANS CONNECTED IN SHUNT WITH SAID LOAD, AND ADAPTED TO CORRECT FOR THE LOAD POWER FACTOR, WHEREBY THE VOLTAGE DROP PRODUCED BY THE FLOW OF THE RESULTANT CURRENT OF SAID LOAD, SAID POLY-UNIT POLYPHASE SATURABLE REACTOR MEANS AND SAID CAPACITIVE MEANS THROUGH SAID REACTOR MEANS, MAINTAINS A PREDETERMINED VOLTAGE ACROSS SAID LOAD MEANS SUBSTANTIALLY CONSTANT AND SINUSOIDAL DESPITE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE VOLTAGE OF SAID A.C. POWER SOURCE ABOVE AND BELOW SAID PREDETERMINED VOLTAGE AND FLUCTUATIONS IN SAID LOAD.
