Figure 11 is an explanatory diagram.
These conditions are generally realized by In the forms of construction shown in 2 n Figures 1 to. 4', the primary winding 1 is (a) of a. ,grou constituted by a transwound entirely upon the core 11 and theformer and a varlable inductance placed in secondary winding 2 upon the core 12; it series with the secondary of the transformer. is desirable to make it clear that this ar- The transformer may have a heavy voltage rangement is not indispensable.

On these drawings, Figures 1, 3, eas and regular striking of the electric arc.
5 5 and 7 represent diagrammatical y by way n load, on the other hand, the tertiary two series of windings; respectively wound around the cores 11 in Figures 5 to 8.
Figures 5 and 6 represent the transformer arranged in this manner, with current circulating in the tertiary winding 3 in the same direction as in the secondary 2.
Figures 7 and 8 represent the same transformer, with current circulating in the tertiary winding3 in the direction opposite to and 12, as represented the circulation of the current in the secondary 2.
The windings are connected in such a way that on open circuit the electromotive forces generated in each portion of the tertiary Winding are practically equal and opposite. Connection is then effected as for the single winding and as represented respectively in Figures 5, 6 and 7 8.
The input to the primary winding 1 is effected at the points A and B. The output circuit is connected to the point A and to one of the terminals or tappings B a b p for low currents (Figures 5' 'and 6) or to the point A and to one of the terminals or tappings B 6 a1 g for. heavy currents (Figures 7 and 8).
It'may here be pointed out that the arrangement represented in Figures 5 to 8 comprises only three groups of windings and therefore allows the utilization of only two ingermediate regulating or control tappings a: y
. I have described above a single-phase transformer having variable drop of voltage,
applicable in particular to electric welding and comprising for the purpose of voltagedrop regulation neither an external inductance nor a magnetic shunt, the variable volt-. age-drop transformer being provided in addition to the primary and secondary windings with a supplementary or tertiary winding arranged in such a way as to embrace practically only the dispersion flux of the transformer or a part thereof, and the connection of this tertiary winding ,inseries with the secondary allowing of regulating the value of the drop of voltage and therefore the welding current.
When the outside supply is of three-phase current, the transformer apparatus according to the present invention can be connected between two phases of the three-phase system, or again in order to obtain a more favourable distribution of the current in the various phases of the supply, there may be For the sake of symmetry, the cores 11 and 13 are adapted in the diagram to receive the primary windings 1 and 3; this arrangement however is not indispensable. These primaries 1 and 3 are then coupled by the well lmown V-connection system and connected by the three terminals A, B and C to the three phases of the three-phase net work (Figures 9 and 12).
According to a well understood construction, the coupling will be carried out in such a way that the fluxes P, and I generated in the cores If and 13 will be dephased byan angle of 60. Thus the fluxes combine as indicated in Figure 11, and the core 12 is traversed by a resultant flux I equal to F times the flux I or Q, passing through one of the cores 11 or 13. The secondary winding 2 is then wound wholly around the core 12. Y
The transformer arranged in this manner presents a considerable dispersion flux when it is on load, and there is therefore a hea voltage-drop on load. It is to be noted that this dispersion flux is in phase with the output current.
In order to obtain the desired regulation, as in the case of a single-phase transformer,
there is connected in series with the secondbraces the dispersion flux wholly or in part. This tertiary winding 4 might for example be wound around the three cores as indicated in Figures 9, 10, 12 and 13; it is then connected in series with the secondary winding 2 in such a way that the current circulates therein in the same direction as in the secondary, as indicated by the arrows in Figures 9 and 10, or else in such a way that the current circulates therein in the contrary direction, as indicated by the arrows in Figures 12 and 13.
Regulating tappings a. b 0 nected to various ing 4.
When the primary supply is fed in at A, B and G, the output circuit is connected to ta pingsBcba..
the point A and to one of the ta ings B a. b c p for weak currents igures 9 and 10) or to the point A and to one of the g for heavy currents igures 12 and 13).
In order to obtain the desired regulation of the voltage-drop, the tertiary winding or a part thereof may be connected either in conunction with or in 0 position to the seconda winding, as has njex lained above.-
t is also to be noted that 1t is permissible, without exceeding the scope of the invention, to obtain the regulation of the load current by connecting the tertiary winding in series with the primary,'instead of connecting it with the secondary as has been described with reference to Figures 1 to 6.
The advantages presented by the transformer according to the invention, as comared with transformers of the ordinary ind are the following 1) Lightness; 2g Reduced overall size;
(3 Higher output due to the fact that the m etic circuit isundivided;
(4) reat simplicity of construction; gag] Very economicaldesign.

An electric welding transformer, comprising a magnetic core, primary'and secondary windings upon separate limbs of said core, and a supplementary winding adapted to be connected in series with one of said first-mentioned windings, said su plementary winding being wound direct y over and upon the same core-limbs as one of said first-mentioned windin 4.
