Title: Improvements in and relating to Protective Devices for Alternating Current Systems.
IPC: H02H3/30
Filed: 1909-02-25
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 4705. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Feb. 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Cut-out arrangements.-In a protective arrangement for electric distribution systems, of the type in which the secondary windings of balanced transformers are placed in an auxiliary circuit, the secondary windings of the transformers are shunted by overload relays or the primary or secondary windings by fuses or resistances which operate upon the occurrence of an overload. In t h e arrangement shown in Fig. 1, two sections a, a' of a feeder a r e provided with switches i, i<1>, i<11>, i<111>. A primary winding d of a transformer is placed at each end of the circuit to be protected, the secondary windings e of which are opposed to each other in an auxiliary circuit containing relays h. The windings e are shunted by overload relays h<1>, and when, upon the occurrence of a fault in the section a', the relays h fail to operate, the relays h' of the section a operate at a predetermined current value to disconnect the healthy section a, and so break the circuit of the feeder. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, a transformer primary winding d of section a is shunted by a fuse s, and the second primary winding is shunted by a resistance w. If a heavy overload lasts too long, the fuse s is melted, and the balance of potentials in the auxiliary circuit is disturbed, so that the relays h are energized to close the circuits of the trip coils. In a modification shown in section a' of Fig. 2, the fuse s is replaced by a resistance w, so arranged that above a certain current strength its resistance differs from that of the resistance w<1> shunting the second transformer primary, so that the balance is disturbed and the trip coils are operated. The resistance w may be of nickel and the resistance w<1> of iron. The fuse s may be placed in the shunt with the secondary winding e, when a resistance must be placed in series with it. Instead of opposing the electro-motive forces of the two transformers, the electro-magnetic or magneto-motive forces may be arranged to oppose each other normally.

Abstract: 3263. Riley & Co., J. H., and Riley F. Feb. 10. Cop type. - In a cop or cheese dyeing machine, particularly for use in indigo dyeing:, the cops &c. are supported by a carrier borne by a tuoular hydraulic ram, which can be used either for circulating the dye - liquor from the pump through the cops &c., or, upon closing a valve, for raising the carrier under the action of the pump. In operation, the liquor passes from one vat A through the cops c, the carrier B, a chamber b, the hollow ram E, a pipe d, to the pump D, and thence, in reverse order, through a similar system to a second tank. When commencing, however, a receiver D<1> is filled through an automatically operated three-way valve d<1> before turning the liquor into the second tank, and the oxidized liquor so directed is discharged. When the dyeing is finished, the valve G in the chamber b is closed by independent handgear, whereupon the pump D raises the ram E and carrier B until it contacts with a switch s and stops the pump-motor. When the carrier B is raised, the upper end of an exhaust-pipe b<1> on its upper side contacts tightly with a spring stuffing-box M on an exhaust-chamber C; a projection m<1> on the box M opens an exhaustvalve b<2> at the top of the pipe b<1> while, at the same time, a rod b<3>, attached to the pipe b<1>, passes through the chamber C and engages the valve of an attached ejector K; the ejector then creates a partial vacuum in the chamber C which opens a valve m at the bottom thereof and draws moisture from the cops c and air through them to oxydize the indigo.
