Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improved saturable core apparatus and, more particularly, to magnetic-core control equipment wherein the functions of a transformer and amplistat are present in a unitary construction affording high gain.
  • Saturable core reactance devices of the type including A.-C. output windings and D.-C. saturating or control windings wound about the same core have gained widespread use in supplementing or replacing electronic amplifiers and rotating regulators, especially where the magnetic amplifier incorporating such devices also include rectifiers in certain circuit relationships which yield increased gain.
  • Magnetic amplifiers of this construction have become identified by the term amplistat, and commonly it is required that the amplistat be excited by or in unique circuit cooperation with a transformer.
  • control circuit impedances in the saturable reactor circuitry should preferably be of low value, such that these impedances need not be of excessive bulk and weight and such that matching with low impedance control components may be readily achieved; yet this requirement further militates against high gain and leads to undesired power losses.
  • a further object is to provide a transformer and cooperating amplistat assembly of minimum size and Weight and having a low impedance control circuit.
  • Another object is to provide unique core and winding arrangements which occasion heightened gain and curtail power losses in transformer-saturable reactance circuitry.
  • I provide three closed magnetic cores each providing a closed magnetic flux path.
  • Single phase A.-C. excitation is applied to a transformer primary winding about one of these cores, which is not saturated, the transformer secondary being in two halves each surrounding the same core and each also surrounding a different one of the other two cores.
  • a D.-C. control signal winding surrounds both of these other two cores and controls their saturation.
  • Output is delivered to a load coupled to a center tap intermediate the two secing effects of rectifiers 11 and 12.
  • Load current is responsive to the magnitudes of direct current caused to flow through the control signal winding.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a single phase transformer-amplistat embodying the present teachings and arranged to provide A.-C. outputs;
  • Figure 2 illustrates pictorially one core and Winding assembly corresponding to that employed in the arrangement of Figure 1;
  • FIGS 3 and 4 are schematic portrayals of bi-phase and bridge type circuits, respectively, which embody this invention in providing D.-C. output signals;
  • Figures 5 and 6 depict schematically two circuit arrangements for energizing D.-C. loads responsive to threephase excitations
  • Figure 7 provides a pictorial view, in perspective, of one preferred three-phase transformer-amplistat core and winding assembly.
  • a primary winding which also functions as a form of reactor winding appears in two independent halves, 10a and 10b, the turns of each encircling both the controlled core 6 and a different one of the control cores 7 and 8.
  • Winding half 10a is coupled across the A.-C. source through a dry contact rectifier 11, which may he a selenium or germanium rectifier, for example, and the other primary winding half 10b is also coupled across the same source through a serially-connected dry contact rectifier 12 which is of a polarization opposite to that of rectifier 11.
  • the primary winding halves Illa and 10b are each excited by different alternate half cycles of the alternating current supply 1, due to the selective block- As each of these winding halves is excited in this periodic manner, it tends to drive magnetic flux through the controlled core 6 in a direction opposite to that occasioned by the other winding half and, thereby, to induce A.-C. output signals in the load output winding 9.
  • the inductive reactances exhibited by winding halves 10a and 10b in conjunction with their cores remain very high unless one of the cores associated therewith is saturated, and thus negligible power is absorbed from the source and delivered to the load without occurrence of certain saturations.
  • control cores 7 and 8 are saturated periodically under influence of 3 the pulsating fluxes produced therein by windings 10a and 10b and superimposed upon the unidirectional fluxes produced therein by the DC. control winding 3.
  • winding ltla no longer acts as a high impedance opposing current flow from source 1.
  • the impedance :of winding half lda'then possesses a relatively low value, whereby the full supply voltage impressed across it ccasions a large current flow through winding half and :yields a high output'to the load 2, this effect continuing during the remainder of the half cycle under consideration.
  • the primary winding half 1012 conducts current and occasions delivery of output to the load in the same manner. Adjustment'of the amount of DC.
  • control current flowing in the control signal winding 3, as by adjustment of thecontrol circuit impedance 4, alters the time during each half cycle of applied A.-C. when the control cores '7 and 8 fire or saturate, and, hence, this adjustment results in greater or lesser current being delivered to loadZ.
  • control winding 3 functions as a low-resistance or shorted'winding about core 7 and would draw relatively largepower'from the source, in the manner of a transformer secondary, before the firing orsaturating times in core 7.
  • large load currents would then be drawn through thesecondary load winding 9 during such intervals, because of thelarge fluxes traversing the controlled core 6. Net effects are loss of gain and undesired dissipation of power inthe control circuit.
  • control winding 3 cannot act as a shorted winding and cause the mentioned difiiculties. This is explained by the fact that the added control core 3 effectively increases the inductive impedance of winding 3 to a high value during the critical intervals. Thus, no additional impedance is required in the control circuit and only the usual low impedance control circuit elements are required. Gain and loss characteristics remain outstanding. Core '7 of course interchanges functions with core 8 when the primary winding 1% about the latter is excited.
  • a further important feature is foundin the operation whereby the closed control cores each convey magnetic flux periodically from their respective primary windings in accordance with unidirectional exciting current. This results from the blocking actions .of .the rectifiers ill and 12. It has been found that cores which carry fluxes in accordance with an alternating current, as distinguished from pulsating unidirectional current, tend to become demaguetized such that greater control M. M. F. is needed to produce saturations. Accordingly, the fluxes (associated with the unidirectional exciting currents) in control cores 7 and 8 by primary halves 16a and 1% enable lesser control ampere-turns to regulate the core saturations, and the system gain is most advantageously heightened.
  • the rectangular windowed cores 6', 7, and 8 are of the usual laminated construction, and are each preferably fabricated from two U-shaped halves which may be fitted about .the pre-wound cooperating windings.
  • the two control cores 7' and .8 are disposed one each on outermost sides of parallel legs of the controlled core 6, and may be somewhat smaller than the controlled core.
  • the control signal winding arrangement is divided into two equal serially coupled halves 3a and 3b, each of which encircles a different one of the control cores 6' and 7 this division.
  • Direct current output to a load may be provided without further rectification through circuitry such as that of Figure 3 or Figure 4.
  • the bi-phase arrangement in Figure 3 cmploysa pair ofrectifiers, .13 and 14, which feed a D.-C. load 15 coupled between their junction and a center tap 16 between secondary winding halves 17 and 18. It should be noted, in this instance, that these secondary winding halves each encircle the controlled core 19 and a different one of the control cores 2%"; and 21, and that the primary winding 22 excited by A.-C. source 23 surrounds only the controlled core The-primary and secondary windings are thus interchanged in relation tothe orientations .ofcorresponding windings of the circuit in.- Figure 1.
  • Control signal winding 24 encircles both of the control cores .20 and 21,
  • the A.-C. signals developed by primary winding 22 are insufiicient to cause saturation of the controlled core 19, and during the first portion .of each half cycle of primary excitation, no appreciable signals are generated in the secondary winding halves 17 and 18. 'This is true because the control cores 20 and 21 are unsaturated during such intervals, whereby both of the secondary halves 17 and 18 act as very large inductive i-mpedances. If it be considered that thevinstantaneous signals appearing in'secondary winding half 17 are increasing from a zero level'in'a sense to cause current flow through itand rectifier 13 and load 15, theaforesaid inductive impedance effects willprecludesuch current flow until, ultimately, the'flux density in control core 2% causes saturation thereof.
  • the unit for one phase includes controlled core 35 and control cores 36 and 37, the primary winding 38 being mounted about the controlled core 35, the secondary winding halves 39 and 40 each encircling the controlled core and a different one of the control cores 36 and 37, and the two serially-coupled halves 41 and 42 of the control signal winding each encircling a different one of the control cores 36 and 37.
  • a pair of rectifiers, 43 and 44 completes the circuitry of this transformer-amplistat unit, a different one being coupled serially between the load 31 and each of the ends of secondary halves 39 and 40.
  • the other two units, 342 and 343, are of like construction, and corresponding components are thus identified by reference characters having the same first two digits. Each unit operates in the manner earlier set forth with reference to the unit of Figure 3, except that each is separately energized by A.-C. signals of a different phase from the three-phase supply terminals 32.
  • the three-phase transformer-amplistat schematically depicted in Figure 6 likewise delivers D.-C. output to a suitable load 45 responsiveto three-phase excitation from across terminals 46 and responsive to control exercised by the customary control circuit coupled across control terminals 47. Connections are those for three-phase full wave bridge operation, however, with either full or partial control depending upon certain couplings described later herein.
  • Units 482 and 483 are of like construction, with corresponding components identified by reference characters having the same first two digits.
  • the three sets of D.-C. control signal windings are serially connected in the D.-C. control circuit through terminals 47, and each of the primaries 52, 522, and 523 is connected across a different one of the three phases of excitation appearing at supply terminals 46.
  • Operation with terminals 57 shorted is comparable to a three-phase full-wave bridge system, in that there is an ordered sequence of the times when the various control cores saturate and when the control core fluxes are reset, the sequence being determined by the phase rotation of the three-phase supply connected to terminals 46.
  • core 50 saturates
  • the induced instantaneous voltages in coils 53 and 542 and the instantaneous voltage of the polyphase supply as connected to coils 53 and 542 at terminals 57, if the three-phase supply is used instead of a short circuit at terminals 57, are all additive and of a polarity to cause current to flow through rectifier 58, through the load 45, through rectifier 592, through coil 542, through either a short circuit at terminals 57 or through a branch of a polyphase power supply connected to terminals 57, and through coil 53.
  • core 513 will saturate, and a path consisting of rectifier 593, coil 543, and a different branch of the polyphase supply connected to terminals 57, if used, will replace the path consisting of rectifier 592, coil 542, and the previously used branch connected between coil 53 and coil 542 at terminals 57 in the previously described loop supplying current through the load.
  • This switching of paths supplying current to the load will occur simultaneously with the event of a control core flux being increased to saturation.
  • Each of the six control cores 5%, 51, 502, 512, 563, and 513 is normally saturated once per cycle of the supply frequency, such that the switching of paths supplying current to the load will consist of six different events as previously described, and the sequence will be repetitive each cycle of the supply frequency.
  • Load current control is exercised by the D.-C. control signals impressed by way of terminals 57, these signals governing the saturation periods in the control cores.
  • control signal circuitry it is not essential that the fullest control be exercised by the control signal circuitry, and a saving in equipment size and weight may be effected by applying part of the three-phase excitation across the terminals 57. These signals are phased properly, such that they will be rectified and delivered to the load additively with the signals controlled by the transformeramplistat units in the manner last described.
  • the controlled core 66 in this arrangement is a unitary element which, it will be shown, serves the functions of three separate closed controlled cores.
  • This core is of a spiral-wound construction wherein the two spiral-wound inner portions 61 and 62 are placed in an abutting relationship to formv a center leg 60a of a given thickness and wherein an outer portion 63 encompasses these inner portions to build up the thickness of the two outer legs 69b and 660 to substantially the thickness of center leg 60a.
