June 25, 1945. u A Rs 22,758 I DIRECT CURRENT SATURATED INDUGTANCE WITH RELAY ACTION Original Filed Marsh '7', 1940 //1 ven for. UN 0- L H/VIP/I Reinued June 25,
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Uno Lamm, Ludvilra, Sweden, assignor to Allrnlnna Svenska Elektriska Airtiebolaget, Vasteras, Sweden, a corporation of Sweden Original No. 2,337,253, dated December 21, 1943, Serial No. 322,750, March 7, 1940. Application for reissue January 6, 1945, Serial No. 571,822
"Ihi's invention relates to a direct current saturated inductance of the type having a relay coil or in the second circuit fed by said coil through the rectifier. In any of these cases, a
certain time delay can be obtained by much smaller delaying means, for instance, a smaller condenser, than b the known connection.
Some forms of the invention are diagrammatically illustrated in Figs. 1-4 of the accompanying drawing.
In Fig. 1, i is the alternating current windin 01' the direct current saturated inductance and I, 3, 4 three direct current windings acting thereon. ,The winding 2 is self-fed over a rectifier I in series with the load, which may be on the direct current side at 6 or on the alternating current side at I. The winding 3, which counter-acts the winding 2, is fed from an independent source and serves mainly to restore the original state after a high excitation of the inductance. The winding 4. which acts in the same sense as the winding 2. serves to provoke the high excitation, corresponding to the closing 01 the contacts of a relay.
The relay is for instance intended to respond to a certain overload in a circuit which comprises the terminals 8. The normal current in this circuit does not provoke any appreciable increase in the excitation of the inductance. To introduce a time delay in the action of the overload current, a condenser 9 is, in this form, connected in parallel to the winding 4. When the normal current is exceeded, the excess first passes mainly through the condenser, and only after a certain time, depending on the value of the excess and the capacity of the condenser, the current in the winding I rises so far that the inductance becomes highly excited.
As the winding 4 mainly acts as an inductance with respect to the direct current circuit, it may, for small values of the desired time delay, be suflicient to introduce an ohmic resistance instead of a condenser, said resistance being less time-dependent than the inductance formed by the winding. If the terminals I are subjected to a voltage varying in a certain manner instead of to a varying current, there should be connected between them and the condenser 9 or its substitute an inductance or an ohmic resistance for 10 Claims. (Cl. 171-242) 2 paratively independent 01' the conditions to the right of the condenser branch.
In Fig. 2, the parts of the direct current saturated inductance and the load objects are designated in the same manner as in Fig. 1. The winding 4 is here connected to direct current terminals 8 through a contact i0 without any time delay element, but in parallel to the self-fed winding 2 lies a condenser I I which prevents the self exciting direct current from rising as rapidly as the traversing alternating current. As the latter is in its turn dependent on the former, it is also in such cases, in which the action is, in a known manner, stable only at very high and very low, but not at intermediary values, prevented from passing instantaneously from a low to a high value, but such a passage takes place with a certain delay depending on the size of the condenser. If the characteristic of the direct current saturated inductance is such that it has also stable intermediary current values, it is at any rate prevented from passing through these too rapidly, ii the current in the winding 4 is varied too rapidly. This connection is therefore suitable for motor starters by which it is intended to produce a slow rise of current or voltage. Here also the condenser ii may be replaced by an ohmic resistance if a very large time delay is not required.
Fig. 3 difiers from Fig. 1 only in that an inductance I2 is connected in series with the winding 4 and an ohmic resistance I 3 in parallel to both, instead of a condenser being connected in parallel. The result will obviously be analogous to that obtained in Fig. 1.
Instead of impedances the time dependence of which is of a pure electric character, as capacities or inductances, such impedances may be introduced the time dependence of which is based on thermal conditions. Thus for instance the condenser in Fig. 1 may be replaced by a resistance having a higher temperature coeflicient than the winding 4 so as to absorb, in the case of an overload current, first a larger and then successively a smaller and smaller portion, of the current. Hereby a larger time delay can be obtained than by means of a condenser. In the same manner, the inductance I! in Fig. 3 may be replaced by a resistance having a negative temperature coefllcient.
When thermally time-dependent impedances are used, it is not always necessary that the current producing the rise of temperature is the same as that traversing the magnetizing winding oi the direct current saturated impedance. Instead of that, two currents may be superimposed on each other in the same resistance or two resistances may be placed in a good heat transferring relation to one another, one of said resistmaking the current between the terminals com- 60. ances being traversed by the current to which 3 the inductance is intended to be responsive, and thereby heats the other which is traversed by the magnetizing current. It is also possible to cause two resistances. thermally influencing each other, to be traversed by separate magnetizing currents, whereby a peculiar time characteristic of the direct current saturated inductance may be obtained. An example of this is shown in Fig. 4. The inductance i has in this example four direct current windings 2, 3, l4, IS, the two first enumerated of which are fed exactly in the same way as in Figs. 1-3. The winding I4 is fed for instance by a current proportional to the load current in a line, being obtained from a current transformer l8 and a rectifier l1 and traversing a resistance i8. In close heat transferring'relation to the resistance l8 there is a resistance is with a negative temperature coefficient, consisting for instance of uranium oxide, connected in series with the winding to a constant voltage on the terminals 20. This last-mentioned winding acts in a positive sense on the inductance. while the winding I may act in a positive or in a negative sense, depending on the'action intended. If it is caused to act in a positive sense, the same action may be obtained at the inductance as in an overload inverse time limit relay with instantaneous release in the case of a. shortcircuit. The windings I4 and Iii are then so dimensioned. that a, moderate over-current in II together with the current in 15 obtained at ordi nary temperature of the resistance i9 is not sufilcient to excite the inductance to a'high current. On the other hand, a stronger over-current in the winding ll corresponding to a short-circuit, causes a high excitation oi. the inductance instantaneously. A moderate over-current in the circuit containing the winding ll, which lasts for some time, heats the resistance II and thereby also the resistance is so much-in a time which is reduced at an increase 01' the currentas to lower its value and to increase the current through the winding l5 so much as to cause a high excitation oi the inductance.
If, on the contrary, the winding II is made to act in a negative sense, a. blocking action can be obtained at instantaneous strong over-currents, as is for instance desirable in Op rating circuit breakers which are not capable of breaking a short-circuit at the flrstinstant but after the short-circuit current has fallen to its stationary value. The blocking action may for instance be obtained by making the counter-excitation by the winding ll, for an over-current beyond control of thecircuit-breaker. sufllciently strong for preventing a high excitation under an conditions, even if the current in they winding I! should reach its full value by the heating of the resistances.
