Abstract
The devices to be studied in this chapter do not serve as power converters; nor can they be considered as basic components of power systems. They are comparatively small-scale instrumentlike devices used mainly in automatic control systems, often in conjunction with the servomotors studied in Chapter 16. They do have similarities with rotating electric machines: they are electromagnetic devices consisting of stators and rotors with windings that are magnetically coupled across the air gap. But they act more like transformers than like motors and generators. Even when their rotors rotate, the motional voltages are insignificant, only the transformer voltages count.
