Patent GB-190912685-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electricity.
IPC: H02H9/08
Filed: 1909-05-28
Granted: 1910-06-28
Abstract: 12,685. Field, M. B., and Ferranti, Ltd. May 28. Transformers. - In protective systems for cables &c., high resistances, inductances, or capacities are used to limit the possible leakage current, and the cut-out device is operated through a transformer when a predetermined out-of-balance current exists in the system. The high resistances &c. d are connected between the neutral points of the generators c and earth. The cables a are connected to the bus-bars through switches h; and each cable acts as the primary of a transformer, the secondaries b of which are connected to relays l which control the tripping- coil circuits of the switches h. The transformer core is built up of L-shaped stampings o, Fig. 5, which are supported and clamped on rods q. In order to prevent the secondary winding from being affected more by the nearest core of the three-phase cable than by the others, an iron sheath t is provided inside the transformer core. The sheath may be formed of iron tape wound on the cable. Instead of using a magnetic sheath, each turn of the secondary winding may be arranged as one thin sheath, or as a number of thin strips w, Fig. 8, arranged longitudinally round the cable and connected together in parallel by bands x. A second layer of strips z is placed over a layer of tape, and the core is then built up to rest on brackets 9 while the cable rests on brackets 10. Multicore cables are arranged with a twist round the axis of the cable, and the length of the transformer core corresponds to one or more spirals of the cable cores. Normally, the three currents are balanced; but, if a fault occurs, a current is induced in the secondary of the transformer, which operates the relay to close the tripping-circuit. Instead of earthing the neutral points of the generators, the bus-bars may be earthed through choking- coils or through capacities. Where the distribution system has a considerable capacity between each main and earth, no additional neutralpoint resistances &c. are required.

Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 14,662. Howorth, F. W., [Millspaugh, W. H.]. June 22. Suction apparatus.-In a suction-roll for use in paper and pulp making machines, and for other purposes, such as the removal of water from the pulp which is produced in the cyanide gold-recovery process, the box and cylinder are supported so that one of them is movable and bears against the other by pressure determined by the longitudinal or axial motion of some portion of the suction-roll, such motion being transformed into relatively radial motion between the box and the cylinder by coacting inclined surfaces. The inner surface of the cylinder C, Fig. 2, and of the open face of the suction-box B, may be tapered conically, and one of them may be pressed against the other by a screw f, or yieldingly by an adjustable spring. The boxes may have grooves engaged by guides e on the heads E, angular adjustment of the suction-boxes being obtained by means of slotted flanges e<1> and set screws e<2>, which may be placed in holes e<3> if necessary. The contacting surfaces of the cylinder and suction-box may be cylindrical, and the guides e and their guideways in the end of the suction-box may be inclined. Fig. 7 shows an arrangement in which the ends of the box are oppositely inclined and are held in the standards A. The cylinder is supported by and journaled in adjustable heads O, slidable within the cylinder and slidably mounted on the oppositely-inclined end-portions D. with clearance below the end portions at o if desired. The bearing pressure between the box and the cylinder is adjusted by sliding the heads O along the end portions D by means of the right-and-left threaded screw P. The cylinder C may be journaled in the standards A, and the box, provided with inclined end portions as described above, may be raised by the sliding of the heads O. The ends D may be provided with inclined grooves, which engage ribs or members supported on the standards A, and may be moved to-and-fro by a right and left handed screw. Fig. 12 shows such an arrangement, the suction-box being inverted and bearing upon the bottom of the cylinder. Axially adjustable blocks joined by a right and left handed screwed rod, and having inclined tops and bottoms, may be sleeved on the straight ends of a fixed suction-box, the inclined surfaces of the blocks engaging correspondingly-inclined guideways in the cylinder bearings. Fig. 14 shows an arrangement in which the cylinder is journaled in the bearings a and supported by axially adjustable elements S having inclined guide-flanges s engaging guide-flanges s<1> on the ends of the box. The box is closed at the end, and provided with a suction pipe B<1>. A T-shaped guide B<2>, embracing a vertical guide on the arm A<1>, prevents endlong displacement of the box.
