Abstract

A switchable arrangement for at least three different operating states is made possible with a minimum number of external winding terminals and a switching device as simple as possible, and current heating of the entire winding as uniform as possible. In the starting-up stages with free adaptation of the inrush current reduction and far-reaching avoidance of disturbing field harmonics is provided. The machine impedance is increased over the normal operating stage by the provision that in the normal operating stage the parallel connected winding branches assigned to a leg are separated and are assigned to different branches, remain without current in part in individual stages and/or are operated with partly different direction of excitation.
