Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 551. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Jan. 8. [Addition to 8764/07.] Controllers, actuating and retarding mechanism for.-In the system of control for induction motors described in the parent Specification, mechanically and electrically operated switching-apparatus is employed to effect the closure of the primary circuit only when full resistance is included in the rotor circuit. A three-phase starter F is moved over its contacts by a ratchet-wheel 14 and pawl 17. The pawl is mounted on an arm 18, which is moved to the left about its centre by the pull of a solenoid 20<1>, and is returned by a spring 21 against a dashpot 22. On closure of a switch 33, the circuit of tho solenoid is completed through bridging contacts 4, 5, and a make-and-break switch consisting of one arm 28 having two positions on studs 24, 25 and a second independent arm 28<1> taking between collars 26, 27 on the solenoid core and connected to the arm 28 by a spring. The circuit of the solenoid is alternately made and broken as the arm 28<1> is moved by the collars, and the switch arms are moved from the dead studs on to the first resistance contacts, in which position a contact 15 on one of the arms short-circuits a resistance 16<1> in the circuit of solenoids a, b, c. These solenoids thereupon lift their cores and connect the stator windings P to the mains. After leaving the first position and the short-circuiting contacts, the resistance 16<1> is replaced in the circuit of the solenoids a, b, c, reducing their current to a holdon valve, and the circuit of the solenoid 20<1> is completed by way of a switch 29. The switch 29 is mechanically operated by one of the arms in the no - resistance position, and the circuit of the solenoid 20<1> is interrupted until the bridges 4, 5 are dropped by the de-energization of the solenoids a, c. The sequence of operations is then repeated.
