| 5-Stufen Trafo-Schaltgerät 5-step transformer tap changer Explanation: I am not absolutely certain about this. In power electrical work, transformers often have tap changers that will allow them to work with different voltages. It might fit in your context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 57 mins (2005-07-12 14:18:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or maybe 5-stage ....

| The asker has declined this answer Comment: Thanks for your answer which makes sense as the tap changer is well documented as a device for switching voltages and I have noted. I chose "control transformer" although at this point I'm still not entirely sure which one is right. It does however work better with my chosen translation for "Schaltgerät" which is "control". | ||

| 5-Stufen Trafo-Schaltgerät 5-step control transformer Explanation: You are obviously dealing with velocity control. At a given velocity, a transformer may be used to control torque by switching (reducing, increasing) its secondary (output) voltage. You do not necessarily control the speed of a motor by switching the transformer voltage, i.e. the velocity of a three-phase motor is controlled by frequency. The text, it seems to me, rather refers to the torque control of a motor running at high velocity. |
