Title: Automatic Sectioning Means for Limiting Accidental Interruptions of Electric Current Supply in Central Stations.
Inventor: BHANDENBURG EDWIN
IPC: H02J3/04
Filed: 1911-09-22
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 21,001. Brandenburg, E. Oct. 8, 1910, [Convention date]. Systems depending on the use of two or more machines.-Relates to the automatic operation of sectionalizing-switches on bus-bars normally fed by generators in parallel. In the threephase installation shown in Fig. 2, each busbar section 1 has at its right-hand end a sectionalizing-switch 2 automatically opened by overload on the generator 4 feeding the section. The overload, whenever occurring, takes effect in one of two relays 8 connected to two of the phases of the generator leads, and excites a relay 13, by which circuit is completed between a battery 12 common to all the sections and a winding 15 controlling directly or indirectly the opening of the sectionalizing-switch. To prevent a sectionalizing - switch from taking effect when the corresponding generator is not in use, contacts 16 are provided in the battery circuit, and are closed only when the generator switch 17 is closed. The bus-bar sections are preferably arranged ring fashion. In cases where the generator switches 17 are automatically operated, the contacts 16 are controlled by the excitation switch, usually hand-operated. The automatic relays for the generators are made less sensitive than the relays of the sectionalizing-switches. Alternatively, the generator switches are controlled only by reversecurrent relays, and cutting out on overload is left to be effected, after the sectionalizing- switches have opened, by automatic switches on the feeders. Instead of a battery common to all the sections, a separate battery for each, able to act on its relay only when the corresponding dynamo is running, may be employed. In such cases, the reverse-current relay of the dynamo switch is made to control the sectionalizing - switch. Fig. 3 shows bus - bar sections arranged according to the invention, and further provided with switches k, l, m, n, o for the purpose of allowing any generator to be disconnected from the bus-bars at will. Similar arrangements apply to single-phase and continuous currents. The automatic switches may be operated by small electric motors.
