The Static Scherbius Drive provides the speed control of a
wound rotor motor
A wound-rotor motor, also known as slip ring-rotor motor, is a type of induction motor where the rotor windings are connected through slip rings to external resistance. Adjusting the resistance allows control of the speed/torque characteristic ...

An alternator is an Generator (device), electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. For reasons of cost and simplicity, most alternators use a rotating magnetic field with a stati ...
. The portion of rotor AC power is converted into DC by a diode bridge. This drive has the ability of flow the power both in the positive as well as the negative direction of the injected voltage.
