Definitions

  • This invention relates to electrical drive systems, and more particularly to means for stopping electrical drive systems.
  • the drive systems contemplated are those which are used in such applications as tandem cold reduction mills.
  • a more speciiic object of this invention is to stop an electrical drive system which comprises a plurality of stands at the maximum safe rate for the stand having the highest stored energy.
  • a still more specific object of this invention is to provide means for stopping an electrical drive system of the character referred to wherein the reference voltage for the individual stands is decreased at a rate which would tend to stop the system faster than the maximum permissible deceleration rate and an additional signal is applied to the reference voltage which is proportional to the regenerative current of the stand having the highest stored energy to limit the regenerative current of the stand motors.
  • Figure l is a diagrammatic showing of one embodiment of the emergency stop system applied to the electrical drive system.
  • Fig. 2 shows diagrammatically another embodiment of the emergency stop system applied to the electrical drive system.
  • the embodiments of the emergency stop system were rice designed for use with the electrical drive system illustrated in detail in the application of Raymond W. Moore, William D. King, James T. Carleton and Loren F. Stringer, filed September 30, 1952, assigned to the Westinghouse Electric Corporation and given Serial No. 312,212.
  • the drive system is shown diagrammatically in Fig. l and is explained brieliy herein, but for a more detailed explanation, reference should be had to the Moore et al. application previously referred to.
  • the drive system for one stand comprises a motor 10 having a iield winding 16 supplied from a suitable direct current source.
  • the motor 10 is part of a Ward-Leonard drive which utilizes the main motor-supply generator 22 to supply the armature current for the motor 10.
  • the motor control is obtained by comparing the voltage across generator 22 with the mill reference voltage, which appears across the leads 30 and 31. The difference between the voltage of the generator 22 and the mill reference voltage is used as a control quantity to regulate the voltage of the motor 10.
  • the mill reference voltage which appears across the leads 30 and 31, is applied to control windings of the voltage regulator magnetic amplifier 32 and thus sets the basic excitation for the field windings 34 and 36 of the generator 22 to determine the speed of the mill stand motor 10.
  • the voltage across the generator 22 is compared with the mill reference voltage by the circuit which comprises the lead 31 of the mill reference voltage supply, control windings on the voltage regulator magnetic amplilier 32, (IR) armature resistance drop compensating impedances 266 and 27o, lead 54, the armature of generator 22, to lead 30 of the mill reference voltage.
  • any difference between the voltage of generator 22 and the mill reference voltage will cause a current to circulate around the comparator circuit just recited, and thereby cause a regulator current to flow in control windings on the voltage regulator magnetic amplifier 32 to regulate the voltage of generator 22.
  • the drive system for the iirst mill stand also has IR compensating magnetic ampliers 224.
  • the control windings of the IR compensating magnetic amplifier 224 receives a signal from the lead 219 and the tap 223 adjustably coacting with potentiometer 218.
  • the voltage supplied to the control winding of magnetic amplifier 224 is thus proportional to the motor load current. Therefore, the output of the IR compensating magnetic amplifiers 224 is determined by the IR drop in the armature circuit ofthe motor 10.
  • the output of the IR compensating magnetic amplifiers is applied across the IR compensating resistors 266 and 270 which are in the comparator circuit previously recited and, therefore, the output of the IR compensating magnetic amplifiers 224 may be adjusted to have such au elect on the comparator circuit as to give the requisite compensation for the variations in the IR drop 1n the motor generator loop due to variations in current in the loop.
  • the mill stand No. 2 has components and circuits which lcorrespond to those ⁇ of mill stand No. 1 and they operate in the same manner, therefore, components for the mill stand No. 2 bear the same numerical designation with the addition of the reference character a as the corresponding components for the circuit for the mill stand No. l.
  • the motor of mill stand No. l is designated 10 and the motor of mill stand No. 2 is designated 10a and the generator of mill stand No. l is designated 22 and the generator of mill stand No. 2 is designated 22a.
  • the mill can be stopped at a rate consistent with the maximum braking current allowable for the mill stand having the highest stored energy by forcing the mill reference voltage to grasses decrease at a rate which is always greater than the maximum permissible deceleration rate and applying an additional signal to increase the mill reference voltage which is proportional to the regenerative current of the mill stand having the highest stored energy.
  • the means for accomplishing this is as follows.
  • a reference exciter l is used to supply the mill reference voltage to the leads Siti and 3l. This exciter is driven at constant speed by any suitable means such as a constant speed motor (not shown).
  • the reference exciter it has field windings 2 and 3 to furnish its excitation.
  • a voltage is supplied between the leads 4 and 5 to the rheostat 6.
  • the field Winding 2 of the reference exciter il receives its voltage from the rheostat o by means of the circuit which includes lead 7, field winding 2, resistor 8, emergency stop resistor and the lead lll.
  • a switch l2 is closed which causes the emergency ⁇ stop contacter i3 to be energized and thus to shunt the resistor 9 which is in the circuit of the field winding 2 of the reference exciter ll.
  • the reference exciter l is supplied with its normal excitation from the field Winding 2.
  • the circuit which contains the coil of the emergency stop contacter 13 is deenergized, the contacts of the emergency stop contacter open, and the resistor 9 is placed in series with the field winding 2 of the reference exciter l.
  • the resistor 9 is of such a magnitude that the voltage of the reference exciter l is decreased at a very fast rate and the voltage regulator magnetic amplifiers 32 and 32a will cause the excitation of the generators 22 and 22a for their respective mill stands to follow the mill reference voltage closely.
  • the value of the resistor 9 is of such a magnitude that the voltages of the individual generators 22 and 22a of the respective mill stands will reduce their voltage at a rate greater than the maximum permissible deceleration rate and, therefore, the individual mill stand motors l@ and lila will cause a regenerative current to flow in the individual motor generator loops.
  • a magnetic amplifier i4 is provided in a conventional doubler circuit and has main windings 15 and l5', a biasing wind* ing 17 connected to a suitable source of D.C. voltage to set the point of operation of the magnetic amplifier and control winding l to determine the output of the magnetic amplifier.
  • the magnetic ampliiier is supplied from the leads l@ and 2li and has its output connected across the field winding 3 of the reference exciter ll.
  • the control winding i8 of the magnetic amplifier is supplied with a current which is determined by the regenerative current in the motor generator loop of the mill stand which has the highest stored energy.
  • the potentiometers Zlio and Zla are connected across the commutating lields of the respective motors l@ and litio in the individual motor generator loops and, therefore, receive a voltage which is proportional to the current in the individual motor generator loops.
  • a differentiating circuit 2l which contains resistors R1 and R2 and the capacitor C, is connected in series with the control winding 118 ofthe magnetic amplifier M'.
  • the potentiometer 23S is connected across the series circuit which contains the control winding 18 and the diierentating circuit 2l by the leads 23 and 24.
  • the potentiometer Zla is connected across the same series circuit by means of leads 25 and 2o.
  • the leads 24 and 26 each have individual rectiiiers 27 and 28, respectively, connected in them and poled as shown.
  • the current which tends to llow from potentiometer 2li; through the lead 24 and rectifier 27 is blocked by the current lion/ing due to the potential on the potentiometer lia. Therefore, the magnetic amplifier receives a signal which is proportional to the regenerative current of mill stand No. 2 or the mill stand having the highest stored energy.
  • the control winding l of the magnetic amplifier le is wound such that a current through the circuit just recited in the sense shown tends to saturate the core and increase its output.
  • An increase in the output of the magnetic amplifier 14 appears across the iield winding 3 of the reference exciter 1 and tends to increase the excitation of the reference exciter.
  • the increase in excitation of the reference exciter is just sufficient to allow the mill reference voltage to decrease at that rate which will cause the mill to stop at a maximum safe rate.
  • the system would operate in exactly the same manner as that just described except that the potentiometer 21S would have a greater voltage across it than the potentiometer 2Min and as a consequence would force current through the differentiating circuit 2l and the control Winding i3 of the magnetic amplifier
  • the dififenentiating circuit 2l is used so that the current liowing through the control winding "iS of the magnetic ainplier ld is a measurerof the regenerative current and the rate of change of the regenerative current in the armature circuit of the motor of the mill stand having the highest stored energy. Actually it is the magnitude of regenerative current which is limited.
  • the rate of change signal compensates for the time delays existing in the regulating system and eliminates instability.
  • the circuit of Fig. 2 shows diagrammatically another embodiment of the invention which will stop the mill at a rate consistent with the maximum current ailowaole for the mill stand having the highest stored energy.
  • the mill stands shown have the same individual generator drive systems as shown and described for the mill stands of Fig. l and, therefore, corresponding components in Fig. 2 are given the same reference numerals as in Fig. l.
  • the system of Fig. 2 also utilizes a reference exciter with two fields to supply the mill reference voltage and the means for reducing the excitation oi the reference exciter for an emergency stop is also the same and the corresponding components given the same reference characters as in Fig. l.
  • the emergency stop system of ⁇ iig. 2 differs from that of Fig.
  • each individual mill stand has an individual current regulating magnetic ampliier to determine the excitation of the field winding 3 of the reference exciter l.
  • the magnetic amplifier' il is associated with the mill stand No. l and the magnetic amplifier lila is associated with mill stand No. 2.
  • the magnetic amplifier it is connected in the conventional doubler arrangement and has the main windings l and 42, a biasing Winding d3 and control winding 4e.
  • the magnetic amplifier is supplied by an alternating current from the leads t5 and lio.
  • the control winding 44 is connected in series with a differentiating circuit 1137 which contains resistors R3 and Ri and capacitor Ci. This series circuit is connected by leads d3 and across the potentiometer 218.
  • the magnetic amplifier lila is also of the conventional doubler type and has main windings lila and @261, a biasing winding 3a and a control winding 44a.
  • the magnetic amplifier den is also supplied from an alternating current source connected between the leads 45 and 46.
  • the control winding7 44a of the magnetic amplier 49a is connected in series with the differentiating circuit 47a which comprises resistors R and Re and the capacitor C2. This series circuit is connected by the leads 48a and 49a across the potentiometer 23fi. Conseouently, the magnetic amplifier 40a has its output determined in accordance with the armature current of the motor lila and its rate of change. Again the rate of change signal is used only to compensate for time delays, which exist in the regulating system and to thereby eliminate system instability.
  • the magnetic amplifier having the greatest output will in effect block the output of the other magnetic amplifier and, therefore, the voltage across the output terminals 53 and 54 of the full wave bridge rectifier 52 will be proportional to the current and rate of change of current in the armature of the motor for the mill stand which has the highest stored energy.
  • the field winding 3 of the reference exciter l is connected directly across the output terminals 53 and 54 of the full wave bridge rectier 52 and, therefore, the reference exciter 1 receives additional excitation which limits the rate of decrease of its voltage and thereby insures that the mill will stop at the maximum rate which is consistent with the maximum braking current allowable for the stand having the highest stored energy.
  • rl ⁇ he objects of invention have been accomplished by providing a means to stop a single motor at a rate consistent with the maximum braking current allowable or to stop a plurality of motors having a common mechanical load at the maximum rate consistent with the maximum current allowable for the stand having the highest stored energy.
