Title: Improvements in Systems of Electric Motor Control.
IPC: H02P7/34
Filed: 1909-03-25
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 7230. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 25. Master control systems; systems for continuouscurrent motors only. - In the system of motor control in which one speed and direction of rotation of the motor are controlled by regulating the polarity and potential of the generator, the current in the main circuit is prevented from rising excessively while the motor is being accelerated or is running regeneratively. The field of the motor M is excited from a separate source S, which also supplies the field of the generator G when switches L<1>, L<2> or L<3>, L<4> are closed. The tractive coils of the switches L', L' are energized in parallel through a wire 10 and a finger k<1> when the master switch K is moved to the forward position 1, all the resistance R<1> .. R' being included in the generator field circuit. The circuits of both pairs of switches are interlocked by means of contactors on the spindles of the switches L<2>, L', and the accelerating-circuits are completed through contactors I<2>, one on each spindle according to the direction of rotation, when the master switch is moved to position 3. The acceleration is effected by means of a notching-up relay O, which may take the form described in Specification 7113/09, two actuating - circuits 13, 14 being connected alternately to successive switches 1 ... 7 by means of interlocking contactors on the switch spindles as described in Specification 6567/09. In position 2 of the master controller, a maintaining-circuit is completed at any point in the switching operation through a finger k<3>, a wire 16, a contactor I<3>, and a wire 15, a contactor d on the next resistance switch to be actuated, and a contactor a on the previously-closed switch, to the tractive coil of that switch. The coils of all the switches up to, and excepting, the one last closed, are energized from a wire 17, which is connected directly to the source of supply s. Closure of the switch 1 completes a maintaining-circuit for the switches L', L<2> or L<3>, L<4> through a contactor f, a wire 19, a contactor I<4>, and a wire 20. The main circuit includes a relay o for governing the notching-relay, an excessive current preventing further cutting-out of resistance. The resistance contactors are opened in reverse succession when the master controller is placed in the " off " position, the motor running as a braking-generator, and the voltage of the machine G being regulated by a relay Q, also in the main circuit, which connects wires 15, 17 when the regenerated current is excessive and prevents resistance from being cut out. The system possesses the additional feature that, by throwing the master controller from the forward to the reverse positions 1<1>, 2<1>, 3<1>, the motor is braked to a standstill and re-accelerated in the opposite direction. Specifications 11,823/02 and 19,485/08 are referred to.
