Abstract

629,541. Switching systems. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN. Oct. 10, 1946, No. 30308. Convention date, Feb. 2, 1943. [Class 38 (iv)] [Also in Group XXXVII] In an A.C. relay suitable for use in resistance welding wherein it is desirable that the relay should operate either synchronously, i.e. at a precise spot on the A.C. cycle in spite of variations in the moment at which energization begins or isochronously, i.e. at a definite time after the moment at which energization begins, even though the spot on the A.C. cycle of this moment may vary, the time constant of the relay is made smaller than an A.C. period. The relay may be in series with the anode circuit of a gas-filled or vapour-filled discharge tube which is subject to a voltage E, Fig. 2. The grid of the tube is subject to a voltage Es slightly more than 180 degrees out of phase with E. Thus ignition can only occur during the period t and this determines the moment at which energization of the relay begins. Fig. 1 shows how the slight variation of this moment within such a period as t need produce no appreciable change in the moment at which the relay operates or in the operative delay of the relay. In Fig. 1 E represents the energizing A.C. voltage that is going to be applied to the relay and I the lagging current in the relay which would occur if " starting conditions were disregarded. The actual current that flows through the relay will be the sum of this " permanent " current I and a " transient " current if or i<1>f, the latter being determined by the moment at which energization begins and its slope depending on the time constant. If the moment of energization occurs at time t the current will follow the curve i<1>; if at zero time, i.e. at the point A, it will follow the curve i. Considering the positive portions of the curves it will be noted that at any instant the value of il is greater than that of i in spite of its later start. The current level required to operate the relay is shown by W but the precise moment of operation will depend also on the design of the relay. By suitably choosing a design and providing a suitable time constant the relay can be made to operate either synchronously or isochronously.
