Abstract
1380596 Automatic control of voltage and current SAFT-SOC DES ACCUMULATEURS FIXES ET DE TRACTION 7 Sept 1972 [10 Sept 1971] 41665/72 Heading G3R [Also in Division H2] A D. C. circuit includes a regulation and cut-off device connected in series between a source and load. The voltage across the load is sensed and regulated by controlling the series device, and the latter is caused to cut off the supply if the load voltage falls below a predetermined value. A further circuit senses the load current and actuates the regulation device if the current tends to exceed a given limit. In the arrangement shown, a lamp L is supplied by a battery 1 through power transistors Q6, Q7 connected in Darlington relation with a transistor Q8. A voltage regulator circuit 4 compares the lamp voltage, sensed by a potentiometer comprising transistor Q3 and resistors R 1 , P 1 , R 2 , with a Zener diode DZ1 and controls transistor Q8 accordingly to regulate the lamp voltage. If the latter should decrease excessively, a Zener diode DZ2 is blocked and transistor Q3 turns off so that transistor Q8 ceases to be energized and the supply to the lamp is cut off, thus preventing over-discharge of the battery. The charging of a capacitor C2 enables the circuit to start up when contacts S1 are closed. A current-limiting circuit 3 senses the voltage drop across resistors R25, R26, and excessive current causes transistors Q9, Q10 to turn on and reduce the base bias of transistor Q8, thus limiting the lamp current. If this action reduces the voltage across the lamp sufficiently, the supply is cut off by the voltage regulator as before to prevent damage to the lamp and battery.
