An analysis of the torque characteristics is to be expected of a twin stator induction machine with 2nd excitation is made. A twin stator induction machine has, through common rotor, 2nd excitating action one set to another relatively, but there are not its effect on the torque characteristics. However, by combination with the external fixed or simpled 2nd excitating e.m.f., variable torque-speed drives can be effectively achieved.
