Help with a sentence

Hello,

Sentence is

" Transformer adjusts the system AC voltage to the charging circuitry
composed of resistor R and diode D at other than the system AC voltage"

and it is the "at other than the system AC voltage" part which puzzles me.
Could someone be so kind as to explain what is meant?

Thank you very much in advance.

tough call, but I'd guess the xformer is used to change the voltage to
something other than the system voltage before rectification.

Same bet here. Full text can be found at

(supposed to be one line, no space)

and please search for "autotransformer 2202".
Back when I went to school we were required to write understandable
sentances: too bad whover gave that one to you didn't worry about
understandability.

Well, at least she/he is an enthusiast and knows her/his trade, so I don't
feel uncomfortable.

Thank you for your effort.

Not too tough, that is rather clearly what it says.


Of course you can speak and write perfect Japanese or Korean, or
whatever the native language is for the person who wrote
originally wrote that sentence. Right?

Or whatever it is that they speak in Odessa, Texas (see the URL posted
elsewhere in this thread).

I've often wondered about some of the obfuscations used in patents. Are
they used:
1) because of some obscure legal requirements
2) because the applicant doesn't know any better, or assumes that the
patent clerks don't
3) to reduce the probability of a text search returning similar terms in
previous work and as a result, make the application look like its prior
art?
