Fig. 1 shows one arrangement. 11 and 12 are the supply wires, and 14 a vacuum tube. 15 is a balanced interrupter pivoted within an exhausted chamber 1, preferably of glass. The interrupter is vibrated by the magnets 16 and 18, the former being constantly energized and the latter at intervals. The circuit is made and broken at the fixed contact 17. At 19 is a solenoid apparatus to jar the chamber should the working become abnormal. The solenoid is sluggish and does not act on its core when the circuit is being rapidly interrupted, but should it become abnormal the core is withdrawn and the contact broken at 20. The core then falls, striking the vessel 13. Modifications of this electromagnetic striker are described in some of which the core or hammer strikes the frame of the apparatus. The magnets 18 and 19 provide the self-induction, which is equal on each side of the brake. In modified arrangements, the arm 15 may be replaced by a spring interrupter, such as 26, Fig. 11, which is operated by magnets 18<1> energized alternately by the commutator 28<1>. 31 is a self-induction coil. In a further arrangement, a number of interrupters are arranged around a common constantly - energized magnet, the vibrators being actuated by a number of magnets alternately energized through a suitable rotary commutator. The interrupter may be arranged to make and break the circuits alternately on either side of a three-wire system.
