Abstract

A field winding type rotating electric machine includes: a stator armature winding wound on a stator core; a rotor field winding wound on a rotor core; a rectifying element connected to both ends of the rotor field winding; a capacitor having one end connected to one end of the rectifying element and the other end connected between the two ends of the rotor field winding; and a control circuit configured to supply electric current, which includes a fundamental component for generating rotational torque and a harmonic component having a shorter period than the fundamental component and superimposed on the fundamental component, to the stator armature winding and thereby induce excitation current in the rotor field winding. Moreover, an inductance of the rotor field winding and a capacitance of the capacitor are in a resonant relationship with a frequency of the harmonic component.
