Abstract

385,937. Thermal switches; automatic circuit-breakers. S C H I L E & BRUCHSALER-INDUSTRIE WERKE AKT.-GES., Baden-Baden, Germany. March 30, 1931, No. 9635. Convention date, March 31, 1930. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. [Class 38 (v).] A three-phase overload thermal switch which operates for moderate overloads only when there is unequal loading, but for bigger overloads in any case, comprises two members I, II biased in opposite directions and acted upon by three thermal elements in the three phases in such a manner that relative movement of the members to operate the switch occurs when the thermal elements move to different extents. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the members I, II are biased by springs 1, 2, and have slots into which the bimetallic strips IIIa, IIIb, IIIc project as shown. When the strips bend to the right the member II moves a distance equal to the greatest distance moved by any strip, but the member I is pulled by its spring 1 a distance which is only equal to the smallest distance moved by any strip. With unequal loading therefore the member II moves farther than the member I and a contact 3 on it is separated from a contact 4 on the member I thereby opening a circuit of a no-volt coil. With a high overload the member I strikes a stop 6 and its contact 4 is therefore left behind the contact 3 even if the loading is equal. In modifications, Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown), a bimetallic strip is mounted on the stop 6 or on the member I to compensate for variations of atmospheric temperature. In another modification, Fig. 5, relative movement between the members I, II frees a spring blade 8 which moves downward and actuates a pawl 9 to cause the switch to open. In another modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the members I, II are discs rotatable about a common axis and having slots in their peripheries in which the bimetallic strips pass. In another modification, Fig. 6 (not shown), the member I rests on three current carrying wires and the member II is pulled upwards so as to bear on the lower sides of the three wires.
