Title: Combined electric protective relay and indicator
IPC: H02H3/08
Filed: 1924-06-25
Abstract: 234,654. British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd., (General Electric Co.). June 25, 1924. Starting prime movers.-In a system in which a battery 1 is charged by a generator 2 driven by an internal-combustion engine 6, and also serves to drive the generator 2 as a motor to start the engine 6 a single instrument operates as an ammeter and as a combined thermal and electromagnetic excess current relay dependent upon the direction of the current and having a time lag inversely proportional to the current. The battery 1 is connected to the generator 2 through a composite thermostatic bar 5, a series coil 4, and a circuit-breaker 3. The bar 5 is pivoted at the point 7 and is slotted from each end to increase the length of the current path. Fixed to and insulated from the bar 5 is a similar bar 10 carrying no current and serving to compensate for changes in atmospheric temperature. A pointer 18 moving over a scale 19 is pivoted at 20 and carries a bracket 17 in which is mounted a screw 16 which is held in contact with the thermostatic bar 5 by a spring 21. The bar 5 is provided with contacts 23, 25 co-operating with contacts 25, 26. The engagement of either pair of contacts 23, 25 or 24, 26 due to bending of the bar 5 energizes the trip coil 27 of the circuit-breaker 3. The contact 26 is carried by a plunger 32 which is biassed towards its lefthand position by a spring 33 and is acted upon by the series coil 4 and by a shunt coil 36, an adjustable stop 35 limiting its travel in the righthand direction. When the machine 2 is started as a motor the ampere-turns of the series and shunt coils 4, 36 are additive, and the plunger 32 is moved to its right-hand position thereby reducing the spacing of the contacts 24, 26, which are brought together by the bending of the bar 5 after a time interval dependent upon the setting of the stop 35 if the engine does not start during this interval. If the engine starts and the generator 2 supplies current to the battery 1, the coils 4, 36, tend to neutralize one another, the plunger 32 moves to its left-hand position, and the device operates as an overload relay the setting of which is adjustable by a screw 31. At overloads above a certain value, the flux due to the series winding 4 predominates over that due to the shunt winding 36, causing the plunger 32 to move to the right and close the contacts 26, 24.
