Abstract

617,668. Protective cut - out systems. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and SCHIFF, W. Oct. 14, 1946, No. 30558. [Class 38 (v)] A protective arrangement to absorb regenerated power when a traction load 3 is connected to a mercury arc rectifier 1, has a polarized relay with coil 6 and contacts PR1, PR2. When the current taken by the traction load falls to a low value, contacts PR1 close to trigger a grid-controlled vapour discharge device 8 to connect a transition resistance 4. When the traction load commences to regenerate, the-contacts PR2 close to trigger a further vapour discharge device 19, which then applies a potential to the starting electrode 15 of a mercury arc rectifier 14. The rectifier commences to discharge and connects a resistance 5 to the bus-bars to absorb the regenerated power. As the contacts PR2 close, a reversecurrent relay 7 opens contacts RCR1 in an auxiliary circuit containing the operating coil 25 of a contactor 24. Normally-open contacts 29 in this auxiliary circuit are closed by a coil 30 when the rectifier 14 discharges. When the load ceases to regenerate, the contacts RCR1 close, coil 25 is energized, and the contactor 24 closes to short out the rectifier to interrupt its discharge. After a time delay a further set of contacts 28 in the auxiliary circuit open to de-energize coil 25 so that the contactor 24 opens and disconnects the resistance 5. In the meantime contacts PR2 will have opened, and contacts PR1 open when the forward current is sufficient. Suitable means may be provided to interrupt the discharges in the vapour discharge devices.
