The generator feeds two-thirds of the nominal power from the directly connected stator and the one-third from the rotor. The converter is used to control the generator’s speed and power factor, allowing a wider speed range for power production as well as the ability to feed reactive power to support the grid. 2, record 4, English, - wound%20rotor%20asynchronous%20generator

Direct-current axial air gap motors are often referred to as disc motors and there are basically two types. The first and most common type is the printed-circuit motor .... The second is the wound-rotor type disc motor; Fig. 10.11 shows a typical cross-section of such a motor. 1, record 5, English, - wound%2Drotor%20type%20disc%20motor

for "disc wound motor": In the disc wound motor, the armature coils are wound into a flat disc, which is stiffened by reinforcing it with a thermosetting epoxy resin. The rotor coils are wound on to a frame to the correct number of turns, the frame is then removed, and the coils hot pressed form a disc. 1, record 5, English, - wound%2Drotor%20type%20disc%20motor
