Abstract: 17,177. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Whitcher, J. July 19. Protective arrangements for alternating-current feeders, of the type in which the current for tripping the circuit breakers is obtained from series transformers placed at opposite ends of a feeder so as to generate opposing electromotive forces in a pilot - wire circuit. The invention consists in providing means for neutralizing the effects of voltage drop, capacity, or other disturbing factors tending to keep a current constantly flowing in the pilot wires. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, compensation is obtained by making the connexions of the auxiliary circuit to the trip - coils W, W<1> at intermediate points C, C<1> of the latter, or by providing an equivalent disposition with coils external to the trip-coils. Earth - connexions may be provided for the pilot - wire circuits. Like dispositions apply to polyphase feeders. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, compensation is provided by connecting the trip-coils to intermediate points of the series transformers, or by employing additional series transformers on the feeders. In a further modification, Fig. 6, additional windings C, C' are placed in series with condensers K, K<1>, and in shunt to the transformers. Additional series transformers may also be employed. Reactances may take the place of condensers. Fig. 9 shows the application of the compensating-arrangement to auxiliary circuits employing one of the feeder conductors as a return.
