Default Re: SMITHS "servomotor" 1111SCM-2

Hi Ed,

In this crazy historic world of AC signalling, the Scott-T transformer is still one of the things that I don't quite understand how it does what it does! I get that it can take a 3 phase Synchro signal and turn it into a 2 phase RVDT / LVDT type signal, which these days is easier to turn into something useful with commonly available converters.

Luckily I had a lot of help from an friend in understanding the various types of synchro, he used to give training on aircraft instrumentation and radios.

Cheers, Scott
