Title: Electro magnetically controlled circuit breakers
IPC: H01H71/26
Filed: 1925-04-18
Abstract: 252,514. Railing, M. J., and Angold, A. E. April 18, 1925. Automatic circuitbreakers. - Relates to circuit-breakers of the type in which a holding - on electromagnet for the contact-arm is associated magnetically with a load winding and on the occurrence of an overload the armature carried by the contact-arm is released and a spring moves it to break the circuit. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the holding windings 8, 9 are placed on cores 3 and 4 united by a yoke 2 which is extended downwardly at 1 to carry pivotally at 11 the movable contact-arm 10. The cores 3, 4 have pole pieces 5, 6 against which is normally held the armature 7 carried by the arms 10 against the pull of a spring 14. The pole pieces are extended outwardly at 16 and 17 and carry on their extensions windings 18, 19 in the load circuit, the arrangement being such that two parallel magnetic paths for these windings occur one through the armature 7 and the other through cores 3 and yoke 2 the return path in both cases being through air between the polar extensions 16, 17. With slowly increasing overloads the effect of windings 18, 19 is to produce an additional flux in the latter path. which increases the magnetic density in the cores 3, 4 and yoke 2 so that in consequence of the reduced permeability of the megnetic circuits of windings 8, 9 the holding flux is finally insufficient to maintain the armature in position. The yoke 2 and cores 3, 4 are arranged to have a greater magnetic lag than the armature 7 and pole pieces 5, 6 so that with suddenly increasing load current the windings 18, 19 produce an immediate diversion of flux from the armature 7 the release of which is arranged for at a lower value than is the case with slow overloads. The differing characteristics of the two magnetic paths are produced by lamination of their members together with existing or additional windings or conducting sleeves carried by these members. The effect of sudden overloads may be assisted by an inductive shunt across windings 18, 19. The polar extensions 16, 17 may be adapted to serve as a magnetic blowout.

In operation the gear 1 drives through gears 2, 3 and 4 to the external teeth 10<SP>1</SP> of the annular gear 10. To reverse direction the gear 4 is moved by an hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder 19 to engage the external teeth 9<SP>1</SP> of the open gear 9 so that eventually it meshes with the end semi-circular gear part 11 and moves, by pivoting a bracket 5, to mesh with the internal gear 9<SP>11</SP> of the open gear 9 and hence drive it in the opposite direction. The gear 4 is then moved back again to mesh with the annular gear 10 on its internal gear so that the driven gear 17 can be driven in reverse for an unlimited number of revolutions. To keep the gear 4 in contact with the end semicircular parts 11 of the open gear 9 the bracket 5 has an arm 14 with a roller 16 thereon for engagement with cam tracks 13 in a guide member 12, the member having a plate 1211 for engaging behind the roller 16 to prevent the inadvertent movement of the gear 4 during a reversing action. The gear cluster may be made of separate annular and open gears rigidly held together or made from the solid (Fig. 2, not shown) with separate semi-circular inserts, or the cluster may be made with an outer ridge (Fig. 3, not shown) and have internal teeth on the outer ridge and external teeth on an inner boss. In an embodiment (Figs. 4-6, not shown) the gear cluster (23), (24) is moved axially relative to the driving gear train (31), (32), (33), (34) by a cam (41) and lever (43) device driven by a worm (38).
