Abstract

353,228. Electromagnetic switches. AKT.-GES. BROWN, BOVERI, ET CIE, Baden, Switzerland. July 8, 1930, No. 20635. Convention date, July 15, 1929. [Class 38 (v).] Contacts.-A circuit breaker for limiting shortcircuit currents comprises two axially - movable cooperating contacts in the form of oppositely - wound coaxial helices f, g normally in abutting contact under the action of adjustable helical springs c, d surrounding them. With heavy short-circuit currents the contacts repel one another, breaking the circuit and introducing into the circuit the iron resistance n which serves as a current limiter. When separated, the contacts are held apart by wedge-friction or by means of a pawl which hold the switch open until it is released by hand.
