Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an energy saving device which enables a number of electrical loads (e.g. electric lights either of the filament or fluorescent type) to be run from a supply circuit at a very substantial saving in power consumption, than they could be run by conventional methods.
  • electrical loads e.g. electric lights either of the filament or fluorescent type
  • n is from 6 to 12, but may vary within or outside this range as desired, according to the practical application of the device and the types of electrical loads used in the device.
  • the effect of introducing the primary windings of successive transformers in series into either the live or neutral lines is that the voltage applied to the first primary electrical load is reduced.
  • the first primary electrical load Z 1 is in the form of a current controller, its impedance can thus be varied so as to maintain a constant current in the circuit.
  • This current control may * be for achieved example by switching in or out additional primary electrical loads Z 2 , Z 3 , Z 4 , etc. in parallel with the first primary electrical load Z 1 .
  • Such switching in or out of additional loads may be by conventional mechanical means or by automatic means, as is well known to persons skilled in the art.
  • the total power consumption of all the electrical loads is less than the normal power consumption of the first primary electrical load Z 1 without the energy saving device.
  • the power output to a fluorescent tubes XI to X6 is sufficiently increased compared with the case where the tube is connected directly to a 240V source, such that the gas in the tube can be fired with isolated firing electrodes rather than using powered filaments, thereby reducing the current drawn by a conventional tube by some 0.3 x 2 (i.e. 0.6) A.
  • the increase in power output is sufficient to reduce the current drawn from the 240V source from about 0.6A to about 0.3A at 100% brilliancy, with the voltage across the secondary winding of the respective transformer staying constant.

Abstract

Un dispositif permettant de réaliser une économie d'énergie et faisant fonctionner une première charge électrique sur une source de basse tension/de courant élevé, ainsi qu'une ou plusieurs charge(s) électrique(s) additionnelle(s) sur cette source de basse tension/de courant élevé. Ledit dispositif comprend n transformateurs, où n représente le nombre de charges électriques additionnelles, les enroulements primaires des n transformateurs étant connectés en série soit dans la ligne sous tension soit dans la ligne neutre de la source de basse tension/de courant élevé, les n charges additionnelles étant connectées aux enroulements secondaires respectifs des n transformateurs, de sorte que chaque charge n fonctionne effectivement sur une source de haute tension/de courant faible, et la consommation de courant de toutes lesdites charges est inférieure à la consommation normale de ladite première charge.
