Granted: 1911-05-31
Abstract: 13,224. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. May 31. Controllers, actuating and retarding mechanism for; controllers with underload release.-A solenoid motor-starter has a separate no-volt coil to hold on the switch arm after the pulling- solenoid has been de-energized. The starter is of the type having an auxiliary spring switch 38, Fig. 1, which is moved by a pin 43 on the starter arm 6, to break the circuit of the pulling-solenoid 2 when the arm is " on." An auxiliary contact 25 is also provided to relieve the starting-contacts in the " on " position. On the end of the arm 6 is mounted a magnetic armature 30, which fits into the core and completes the magnetic circuit of a no-volt coil 33. A dash-pot 13 having by-pass ducts 13<c> at the extreme end is used to retard the movement of the arm 6. In use, the main switch 49, Fig. 3, and hand switch 46 being closed, the contactor 51 completes the circuit of the armature 45 and field 57 through the resistance 60 and no-volt coil 31 respectively. An additional circuit is completed through a wire 55 and the pulling solenoid 2 to the spring bridging-switch 38, which is mounted on a contact 36 and presses on a contact 39. The arm 6 is thereupon lifted, cutting out the starting-resistance 60 from the armature circuit, and cutting a resistance 61 into the circuit of the main contactor coil 44. The current in the coil 44 is thus reduced to a hold-on value to prevent re-starting of the motor in any other than the full - resistance position. The magnets 2 and 33 may be electrically interlocked so that the magnet 33 is open - circuited when the other magnet is energized.
