Definitions
- the pin contacts of the plug force the spring loaded actuators out of engagement with and away from the shorting plate thereby electrically isolating the socket contacts from each other.
- the pin contacts engage the socket contacts, by means of the actuators, thereby establishing electrical continuity through the connector.
- the instrument is therefore electrically connected across the secondary winding of the current transformer.
- the socket contacts are automatically shorted together due to the spring loaded feature and v the shorting plate, thus preventing the secondary winding of the current transformer from being accidentally in an open condition.
- the primary coil of the transformer is connected in series with the primary circuit load and has multiple terminals so that the correct ratio can be selected to produce a suitable secondary current.
- a disadvantage in the form of a shock hazard to both personnel and equipment arises, however, from the fact that dangerous voltages can be developed across a current transformer secondary winding, if the secondary winding is opened under load conditions.
- the conventional current transformer is provided with a shorting switch across the output terminal of its secondary winding. It is standard practice for operating personnel to short the secondary winding with the switch before disconnecting attached meters, or to short the circuit in another manner.
- This technique itself has disadvantages, including: the possibility that the shorting switch may be inadvertently left open; and the current transformer may be remotely located or installed behind a panel such that the shorting switch is not readily accessible.
- the primary object of the present invention is to provide a current transformer connector which includes automatic fool-proof techniques for shorting the secondary winding of the current transformer when the load is removed.
- the foregoing object is achieved by provision of a special connector receptacle (or plug) which is permanently connected across the secondary winding of a current transformer.
- a short circuit is provided across the socket contacts in which the transformer secondary winding leads are terminated. Insertion of the plug connector automatically disengages the short circuit while simultaneously connecting the measuring instrument across the secondary winding of the current transformer.
- the short circuit is provided by means of a shorting plate disposed near the forward end of the receptacle and a socket contact which includes an actuator for receiving a pin axially movable within the contact and spring loaded so as to be urged toward the metal shorting plate upon disengagement of the plug and receptacle.
- the actuator In the disengaged and engaged conditions of the receptacle the actuator is in electrical contact with the associated terminal of the secondary winding of the current transformer through the respective socket.
- An electrical connector constructed in accordance with the present invention includes further features and advantages, such as: the receptacle portion of the connector can be permanently connected to the secondary winding of a current transformer thereby allowing various instruments to be easily connected to the transformer through the use of a mating plug connector; disengagement of a meter from the secondary winding circuit, by means of the mating current transformer connector elements provides an automatic short circuiting of the current transformer secondary winding and thereby eliminates the safety hazards to personnel and equipment; and the automatic shorting feature can be readily incorporated in receptacles for both single phase and polyphase applications.
