Definitions

  • FIGS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION refers to tap-changing transfer switches, and more particularly tap-changing transfer switches of the Jansen type which include ohmic tapchanging or change-over resistors which are inserted circuit is continuously derived from one and the same tap of a tapped transformer winding. Tap-changing transfer switches of the aforementioned kind are well known in the art and are described in considerabledetail in U.S. Pat. No. 3,176,089 to A. Bleibtreu et al.,
  • a tap changing regulating transformer includes the three following units: (a) a tapped transformer wind- ,ing; (b) a transfer switchproper for switching load currents including overload currents; and (c) a selector switch interposed between the tapped transformer winding and the transfer switch proper for selecting the particular taps to be switched.
  • This invention can be fully, understood without reference to the selector switch circuitry, and a consideration of its presence has, therefore, been deleted from what follows. It may be mentioned, however,thatselector switches and the way in which such switches are associated with a transformer winding and with a transfer switch proper is disclosed in the above referred-to patent to A. Bleibtreu et a]. t

  • Said main current path and said auxiliary current path of each said first and second load current branch are provided with at least two serially arranged switch means having relatively'movable contacts forming series'breaks inthe open positions thereof.
  • the auxiliary current path of said first and said second load current branch each include a tap-changing or switch-over resistor.
  • the switch-over resistorof said first load current branch is inserted betweenthe tap end of saidfirst load current branch and said switch means of the auxiliary current path thereof.
  • the switch-over resistor of said second load current branch is inserted between thetap end of said second load current branch and said switch means in the auxiliary current path thereof.
  • Transfer switches embodying this invention further include a pair of potential control resistors for controlling the potential distribution in said main current path of said first and said second load current branch.
  • Each of said pair of potential control resistors conductively interconnects one point situated between the two ends of said switch-over resistor of said first and second load current branch with one point situated between two of said serially arranged switch means in said main current path of said first and second load current branch.

  • load current branch L includes the main current path II and the auxiliary current path IV arranged parallel to the main current path II.
  • the main current path I is provided with at least two serially conpositions thereof.
  • the main current path 'II of current branch L is provided with at least two spur the open positions thereof.
  • the auxiliary current path III is provided with at least two serially connected auxiliary switch means III, and III, having relatively movable contacts and forming series breaks in the open position thereof.
  • the auxiliary current path IV is provided with at least two serially connected auxiliary switch means IV, and IV, having relatively movable contacts and forming series breaks in the open positions thereof.
  • Reference characters R, and R have been applied to indicate a pair of switch-over resistors, or tap-changing resistors, which are inserted into the load circuit when performing a tap-changing operation from tap U, to tap U,, or from tap U, to tap U,.
  • Resistor R is inserted between tap U, and switch means III,, III,
  • switch means IV, 1V Resistor R is subdivided into two seri-' ally connected resistor portions R,, and R,, and a tap is formed between the two resistor portions R,, and R,,.
  • switch-over or tap-changing resistor R is subdivided into two resistor portions R,,, and R,, and
  • Switch means I, and I are supposed to open and to close simultaneously, and to this end they may be tied together mechanically as indicated in the drawings by a dotted line.
  • the first step in performing a tap-changing operation from tap U, to tapU consists in simultaneously closing auxiliary switch means III, and III, in auxiliary current path III and shortly thereafter simultaneously opening main switch means I, and I, in main current path I.
  • This position of parts is shown in FIG. 2.
  • Closing of switch means III, and III results in a voltage drop across resistor R,. That voltage drop is used along with the voltage drop along potential control resistor R, for controlling or equalizing the potential across main switch means I, and 1,.
  • the latter switch means open an arc may be formed across each of the resulting breaks, but such arcs extinguish at the first current zero.
  • the next step in performing a tap-changing operation from tap U, to tap U consists in closing the two auxiliary switch means IV, and IV, in auxiliary current path IV, resulting in the position of parts shown in FIG. 3. In that position there is, in addition to the flow of the load current to the load not shown a flow of a circulating current from tap U, through registor R, and switch means III, and III, and resistor R, and switch means IV, and IV, to tap U
  • the magnitude of that circulating current is limited by the sum of resistors R, and R,.
  • the recovery voltage across the separated contacts of switch means llll corresponds to the voltage drop across switch-over resistor R
  • the magnitude switch-over resistor R may be determined in such a way that the voltage drop along switch-over resistor R is equal to the voltage normally prevailing between contiguous taps U and U
  • the recovery voltage appearing across the separated contacts of switch means lll is equal to the difference in potential between taps U and U since the voltage of tap U is' applied by means of resistor R to the point between switches III, and 111 Hence the recovery voltage is evenly distributed across the two breaks formed by auxiliary switch means III and lli I
  • the next step in performing a tap-changing operation from tap U to tap U consists in simultaneously closing the main contact means Ill and ll This establishes'a direct current path from tap U, to the load (not shown).
  • auxiliary switch means IV, and W are opened simultaneously. No arcing occurs when these switchmeans are opened since the current path II forms a very low resistance shunt across the current path IV. Opening of contact means IV and 1V terminates the tap-changing operation from tap U, to tap U.
  • the second limit position of the transfer switch when the entire load current is derived only from tap U is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the transfer switch does dequire any additional switch means for the control of the recovery voltage across its four pairs of switch means I, and 1 II, and ll lll and Illand IV, and W i.e. it does not require any additional switch means for switching either of the potential control resistors R R and R R
  • the tap-changing operation from tap U to tap U does not need to be described specifically since the consecutive steps involved in this operation are apparent from what has been described above. Suffice it to this invention further include two pairs of jointly movable main switch means 1,, I and llhllg having relatively movable contacts.
  • One pair I,,I of said two pairs of main switch means l l ll ll is arranged in series in said main current path I of said first load current branch L and forms series breaks in the open positions thereof;
  • the other pair ll ll of said main switch means is arranged in series in the main current path II of said second load current branch L and forms series breaks in the open positions thereof.
  • Systems embodying this invention further include two pairs of jointly movable auxiliary switch means lll lll and IV lV having relatively movable contacts.
