T EL Ez z I IE I q 5 Y BY PMMJYEWO 13 ATTORNEYS INDICATING PANEL 3,061,828 CRCUIT MEANS Aloysius J. Hauck, Milwaukee, Wis., assignor, by mesne assignments, to Basic Products Corporation, Milwaukee, Wis a corporation of Wisconsin Filed Mar. 11, 1958, Ser. No. 720,776 Claims. (Cl. 340251) This invention relates to a system for detecting changes in a load circuit and especially one for indicating failure of lamps in a lighting system.
Airport runway lights normally are at some distance from the control tower so that it is difiicult to ascertain when any predetermined number have failed or burned out. Normally, the lamps in such an arrangement are fed from isolating transformers which are connected in series and it is desirable to be able to have an indication or warning at a remote point.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a system which will detect and indicate failure of lamps in a lighting system.
Another of the objects of the invention is to provide an arrangement which will indicate at a remote location the condition or failure of parts of a lighting or similar system.
In one aspect of the invention, the detection means is arranged to respond to a change in a normally resistive load, such as is the case when a plurality of isolating transformers are connected in series, the secondaries of the transformers being connected to the lamps. When a lamp to which such a transformer is connected fails, the transformer primarily consumes load current as magnetizing current. The primaries of the isolating transformers may be fed from a constant current source of the resonant type, saturable type or high reactance type. Circuit means can be employed to provide a first signal, such as a voltage signal. The first signal can be obtained from a winding on an output transformer, if used, which feeds the load, or from a potential transformer connected across the load. The voltage of this signal will be in phase with the voltage across the series loop and proportional to the impedance of said loop. A second circuit means is provided for producing a second signal, such as voltage, displaced substantially 90 degrees from the load current. This signal can be obtained, for example, from a current transformer in the load circuit and an inductance in the secondary circuit of the current transformer. A combining circuit is employed combining the first and second signals or voltages in such a manner that when the load is normally resistive, or less than a predetermined number of lamps are out, the second signal plus one half of the first signal will be balanced by the second signal minus one half of the first signal. Then, if one of the lamps burns out, the load current and first signal will no longer be in phase because of the reactive impedance of the isolating transformer of the failed lamp and the combined signals will no longer be equal. A detecting means is provided to indicate a departure of the equal normal signal conditions as a result of a lamp burn out or to operate a relay for transmitting or using such departure information to a remote point.
These and other objects, advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from following description and drawings which are merely exemplary.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram.
FIG. 2 is a showing of voltage relations when all lamps are burning.
FIG. 3 is similar to FIG. 2 but depicts voltage relation upon failure of lamp.
The invention will be described in conjunction with a lighting system but can be used in other similar ways.
3,061,828 Patented Oct. 30, 1962 Output transformer 10 may have its primary 11 connected to a constant current source of alternating current, such as a resonant type, saturable type, or high reactance type. The output transformer secondary 12 is connected to a load circuit including a plurality of isolating transformers 13 having their primaries connected in series with secondary 12. The secondaries of isolating transformers 13 are connected in the usual manner to lamps 14.
Combining resistance 21 can be considered to be composed of two parts 22, 23. Resistance 22 can have one side connected to Winding 15 through line 24 and rectifier 25. Resistance 23 may have one side connected to winding 15 through line 26 and rectifier 27. Center tap 28 of winding 15 is connected to center tap 29 of resistance 21 through mutual inductance 19 or similar means.
Under normal operating conditions with all of the isolating transformers loaded, current in the load circuit and voltage induced in winding 15' will be substantially in phase. Under this condition, the voltage E plus and E minus netizing current is reactive. When this occurs, the condition 1 E3 plus 2 and E minus will become unequal in magnitude as illustrated in FIG. 3 and Will cause a net direct current voltage to appear across resistor 22 plus resistor 23. The magnitude of said voltage will be proportioned to the number of lamps that have failed.
Inasmuch as said direct current voltage will have a.
high ripple, it is desirable to use a filter including inductance 30 and capacitance 31 in the circuit feeding the sensitive relay or meter 32.
There can be an adjustable resistor 33 included in the indicating circuit so as to cause or permit adjustment of meter contacts closure for various percentages of burned out lamps. If the voltage E across winding 15 is made several times as large as voltage E across inductance 19, the need for close adjustment of resistor I 33 will be eliminated. Relay 32 may be connected, if
. desired, to an indicating panel 34 remotely located relative thereto such as in "a control tower to operate a warning light or signal.
It has been found that the system is very sensitive and will detect satisfactorily failure of one light out of a hundred. As an example, the meter readings for varying percentages of open isolating transformers relative to full load were found to be:
Percent: D.C. meter reading .200 2% .500 4 /2 .600 6% .700 9 .800 11 .4 s .900
The arrangement also can be used in, conjunction with a brightness control circuit indicated schematically at 35 such as illustrated in copending application Serial No. 720,777, filed March 11, 1958.
' It should be apparent that variations can be made in details of the circuit and use thereof for detecting change in inductance in a load circuit without departing from the invention except as defined in the appended claims.
