ALTERNATING-CURRENT MOTORS 323 is reduced, and the speed variation, therefore, occurs without loss of efficiency, and is similar in its character to the speed con- trol of a direct-current shunt motor by varying the ratio between the e.m.f. impressed upon the armature and that impressed upon the field.
