XXVII. 355/1), f. meta- + Gr. δύναµις power.] A rotary direct-current generator in which the output voltage can be varied by a small signal applied to a control field perpendicular to the main field and which is used in position- or speed-control systems.
1930Sci. Abstr. B. XXXIII. 376 The ‘Métadyne’ is a direct-current machine having more than two brush axes per pole-pair. 1945[see Amplidyne]. 1951F. J. Teago in P. Kemp Electr. Engin. III. 89/1 One of the chief reasons for using metadyne control is that the alternating current may be kept constant. 1970J. Shepherd et al. Higher Electr. Engin.
