Definitions

  • my invention is. illustrated as being applied to the control of an electrostatic precipitator which is diagrammatically represented as comprising a grounded conducting duct or chimney 3, through which passes one or more precipitating-wires or electrodes 4, which are energized, through a mechanical, rotating rectifier 5, from the high-voltage secondary-winding 6 of a step-up transformer 1.
  • the primary winding 3 of the precipitator-transformer 'l is connected to a supply-circuit 9 which is energized from a single-phase supply line Ll-L2 through a ballast-resistor H and a voltage regulating means which is illustrated in the form of an inductionregulator l2 which is adjusted, either in 9. voltage-raising direction or in a voltage-lowering direction, by means of an alternating-current motor M having a raising winding RW and a lowering-winding LW.
  • auxiliary relays 25 and 26 which are respectively energized from the back and front-contacts l5 and l 5 of the voltagerelay V.
  • the auxiliary relay 25 is a voltagelowering relay having a make-contact 21 which is utilized to energize the lowering-winding LW of the regulator-motor M.
  • the auxiliary relay 28 is a voltage-raising relay having a make contact 28 which is utilized to energize the raisingwinding RW of the regulator-motor M.
  • a capacitor 29 is connected across the terminals of the two motor-windings LW and RW to obtain reversing operation with a single-phase motor, in a manner which is known in the art.
  • the first current which flows is utilized to charge the capacitor 43.
  • the capacitor 43 takes all of the tubecurrent, none of it passing through the highly inductive relay-coil 38.
  • the capacitor 43 charges at a predetermined rate limited by the amount of current which is supplied thereto through the rectifier-bridge 36 and the grid-glow tube 3
  • the relay-contact 23 which causes this backward drifting of the voltage-relay V remains closed for a predetermined brief time-interval which is controlled by the discharging-rate of the relay-bypassing capacitor 43, which is now being discharged through the relay-coil 38 in series with the adjustable resistor 44.
  • remains energized, keeping the relay-contact 23 closed, is adjustable, by means of the adjustable resistor 44.
  • Voltage-regulating equipment for an electrical load-device subject to transient current-increases randomly recurring at a rate and with an intensity dependent upon the voltage, comprising a supply-circuit for said load-device, voltage-regulating means associated with said supply-circuit, a timing-relay having an actuating-coil and a biasing-means opposing the actuating-force produced by said actuating-coil, means for electrically energizing said actuating-coil from across said supply-circuit with an amount of energization which normally causes the actuating-force of the coil to predominate in such manner as to tend to cause the timing-relay to move from a nonactuated position to an actuated position at a predetermined speed, current-responsive transient-summating means for at times causing the biasing-force to predominate in said timing-relay so as to tend to cause the timing-relay to move in the opposite direction at a current-responsive speed which is so slow, at times, as to require a
