11 Claims. 1
This invention relates to electrical protective apparatus, and with regard to certain more we ciflc features, to thermostatically controlled protective means for electric motors and the like.
Among the several objects of the invention may be noted the provision of mechanically and elec trically simple protection apparatus for electrical energy translating devices (for example a motor or transformer) which allows manual reset means to be located at a distance from the protected apparatus while only small and compact parts are mounted on the casing of the protected apparatus. Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises the elements and combinations of elements, features of construction, and arrangements of parts which will be exemplified in the structures hereinafter described, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the following claims.
In the accompanying drawing, in which are illustrated several of various possible embodiments of the invention,
Fig-l is a wiring diagram showing one form of the invention; and,
Fig. 2 is a wiring diagram showing a second form.
Similar reference characters indicate some sponding parts throughout the several views of the drawing.
Referring now more particularly to Fig. 1, there is shown at M a motor which is to be protected against overheating due either to overload or high ambient temperature. The circuit supplying the motor is shown at C. At numeral I is shown an automatic reset thermostatic protective assembly which it is intended shall be small enough to be mounted upon the motor casing, or at least be in the close vicinity of the motor so as to be responsive to ambient temperature conditions around the motor.
At 3 is shown a manual reset thermostatic assembly intended to be remotely located with respect to the motor.
Assembly I has main contacts 5 and 'l. Contact 5 is connected with the circuit C by wire Fl. Contact l is connected with a third contact H by way of a resistance heater l3 which is located closely adjacent to an automatic reset thermostatic element i5. The mechanical details of the thermostatic element I5 are shown in United States Patent 2,199,387. Thus i5 is a. bimetallic snap-acting thermostatic disc which upon temperature rise from normal temperature conditions snaps to an opposite curvature, thereby removing is reduced to normal.
' this time forms the contacts ii and it carried thereby from the tests 5 and i. Upon reduction in temper the disc l5 snaps baclc to the curvature shown to reclose contacts 5, it and l, ll. it is classified as an automatic reset thermostat.
The assembly ii is composed oi stationary con tacts 2E and 23 in a line and terminals and 29 between which is a resistance heater The contacts 2i and 29 are in a circuit; 33 which connects across the contacts 5 and "i in assembly 6.
A thermostatic disc of the snap-acting type carries movable contacts iii and St for opening and closing the contacts and in line The thermostatic disc 35 is oi. the so-cailed manual reset type, which i'ec'ioses only by manual operation of a reset button. i That is t s if the disc snaps to open position ups ing, it will remain in that position until manually, even though the temperature s n The details of a typical manual reset thermostat are disclosed in United States Patent 2,199,388.
Operation is as follows:
When the motor M is energized over the line C, current flows through the motor, line it, con tacts 5, iii, thermostatic disc 55, contacts resistance l3, line 2%, contacts disc contacts 31', 2| and back to the line C. No substantial current at this time flows through the resistance 3!, since there is very little potential. applied across this resistance, the resistance disc l5 being low.
If the motor becomes electrically overloaded, or overheated, the thermostatic disc it will re spond by snapping to reverse curvature and re move contacts ii, iii from contacts 5, i. i3 accelerates the heating of the disc l5. With open, current will thus be forced to flow from the line C through terminal 2], heater 3i, terminal 29, line 33, contact i, heater it, terminal ii. line 25, returning to the line C through the contacts 23, disc 35. contacts ill and iii, back to the line C. Heating of the disc 35 by the adjacent heater 3i causes the disc to'open. the line which at is ooiy connection closing the circuit C. Once disc snaps to open posi-- tion, it will remain there until reset by manual operation on the button iii. Thus even though disc it may reclose, a manual reclosure at is necessary.
From the above it will be seen that the of operation of the automatic reset disc open and shut the circuit across the re thus acting as a relay. Aite operated to break the circuit, :.l
3 that the automatic disc ll rec l oses the contacts Ii, l9 and I, I! because then the circuit C is in any event broken at contacts 2| and 2!.
Advantages of the invention are that the relay assembly I may be made small and sensitive and mounted on or near the motor while the assembly I may be made larger in its remote location.
At Fig. 2 is shown a form of the invention arranged so that the resistance l3 in the assembly I, when It is open, is not (as in Fig. 1) in series with the resistance II. To this end, the connection 33 and contact 29 are eliminated and the resistance II is connected between terminal 21 and contact 23 of the reset switch I. In this case, overload current first passes through connection 8, disc ll, heating resistance It, line 25, disc 35 and back to the line C. The heater It causes disc II to snap open initially, whereupon the circuit traces from line C to terminal 21 in assembly I, heater resistance 3|, disc 35 and back to the line C. The heater 3| then causes opening of the thermostatic element I5 which completely breaks tb motor circuit. This allows the automatic reset thermostat I to return to position prior to resetting the reset thermostat 8, without placing the motor back in the line.
It will be understood that the invention will provide protection for other translating or similar apparatus equivalent to the motor shown.
In view of the above, it will be seen that the several objects oi the invention are achieved and other advantageous results attained.
As many changes could be made in the above constructions without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
