Abstract: 22,419. Tirrill, A. A. Oct. 5, 1911, [Convention date]. Boosting; equalizing load on generator; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for. - A regulator of the vibrating type is provided with a contact lever,actuated by a coil energized from the circuit to be regulated, and pivotally connected to a second lever which is oscillated by means such as a second coil not directly dependent on the variations in the exciter circuit. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a resistance 8 in the field circuit 7 of an exciter 6 is periodically short-circuited by the contacts 9, 10 of a relay 11, the coil 37 of which is controlled by means of the regulator. The coil 38 of a relay 36 is connected in parallel with the coil 37, and the contacts 34, 35 of this relay periodically shortcircuit a resistance 33 in circuit with a coil 24. The regulator comprises a voltage coil 17, the core 19 of which is pivoted to a lever 15 carrying a contact 14 adapted to engage a resiliently-mounted contact 12. The lever 15 is pivoted to a lever 16, which is oscillated by means of coil 24 against the action of a spring 26. In a modification, the lever 16 is replaced by a bell-crank lever, the employment of which enables the coil 24 to be placed in a vertical position. In this modification, the resistance 33 is dispensed with, the contacts 34, 35 controlling the circuit of the coil 24. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the pivoted levers 42, 43 are straight, and the movable contact 45 may be located to the right or to the left of the pivotal connexion between the levers. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the coil 24 and the coils 37, 38 of the relays are energized by an auxiliary generator 48, the contacts 34, 35 controlling a resistance 50 in the field circuit 49 of the generator. In the equalizing arrangement shown in Fig. 6, a booster 56 is provided with a constantly excited field-winding 57 and a counter winding 58 energized by an exciter 59, the fieldwinding 60 of which is controlled by a regulator. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the regulator winding 24 controls its own circuit through the contacts 66, 67. A stationary permanent magnet 70 holds the contacts 66, 67 in engagement against the action of a spring 71 by means of an armature 68 loosely mounted between projections on a rod 69 connected to the core of the winding 24. In a further modification, the lever which is pivotally connected to the contact lever is oscillated by means of a cam. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, the oscillating lever 75 is pivoted at one end and connected to the core of the coil 24 at the other end, while the contact-carrying lever 76 is pivoted at an intermediate point. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, the movable contact 78 is mounted on the depending arm of a bell-crank lever 79, the movements of which are controlled by the windings 17, 24.
