Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed September 2, 1909, Serial No. 515.835. Renewed April 9, 1917. Serial No. 160 393.
Be it known that I, ERNEST 0. E. Knrrr HAHN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Dobbins, county of Yuba, State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Protective Devices, of which the following is a. specification.
This invention relates to protective devices for dynamo electric machinery and in particular to protective devices for protecting machines against internal short or open circuits, that is, short or open circuits in -th coils of the machine.
The objects of this invention are to provide a device which will notify the attendant by signal 'or otherwise when a coil in the machine is defective or which will throw a suitable circuit breaker.
The invention generally stated consists in an induced member connected with a suit able indicating device or circuit breaker or both, which is adapted to be placed in inductive relation to the coils of a. winding of a dynamo electric machine which is to be protected or tested. A defective coil will act upon this induced member and operate the signal or circuit breaker.
The induced member is preferably placed in one of the pole faces, or forms one of the pole windings. In the induction motor or generator it is placed on the secondary while in an inductor type of alternator it is placed on the rotor or inductor. The induced member may, however, be a separate instrument and may then be placed or held in proper position for the purpose of testing.
The induced member preferably comprises a air of coils which are connected in circuit with a differential electro responsive device. These coils are symmetrically placed with respect to the windings to be protected or tested; that is, they are placed apart electrical degrees or a multiple thereof. Where the coils form the field pole winding they are placed on separate poles which may be adjacent or not, as desired.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is a diagram showing one form of this invention in which the winding to be tested or protected is the movable one;
Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are diagrams showing different forms of this invention in which the field coils form a part of the protective device;
Fig. 5 shows the invention applied to a machine of the moving field typo;
Fig. 6 shows the invention applied to an induction motor or generator;
Fig. 7 shows the invention applied to a generator or motor of the inductor type;
Figs. 8, 9 and 10 show in detail applications of this invention to direct and alter nating current machines, in which the field is stationary while the armature is movable;
and Fig. 11 is a diagram showing the theory of operation. Referring to Fig. 1, A designates the mature of a dynamo electric machine and. F
the field, the armature being movable while the field is stationary. The field leads are designated by L. A pair of induced members B, C, are connected in circuit with the coils D, E, of the dififerential device G, which is provided with a core H upon which the difierential coils D, E, are wound. The differential device G is provided with an armature Iwhich is pivoted as shown and provided with a hook J which engages a pivotal member K. A spring 0 normally tends to move the member K to the right, around its pivot, and a spring M normally tends to hold the armature I with hook 5 into engagement with the member K so as to hold it in the position shown in Fig. 1, an adjustable nut P being provided to adjust the tension of the spring. When the member K is released it drops upon and depresses a circuit closer Q which closes the circuit S containing the-coil T of a circuit breaker U. nected in circuit V with the armature A or preferably forms the main circuit breaker of the machine, and operates to open the armature or both armature and field. Ad justable resistances it, it, are included in circuit with the induced members B, C, and the coils D, E.
The induced members B and C may be of various forms, and may be applied to the machine in various manners. Figs. 8, 9 and 10 show various arrangements. in Fig. 8, the coils are shown as surrounding the pole pieces. In this case the centers of-the coils will be on the center lines of the pole pieces, and will therefore be 180 electrical de rees or a multiple thereof apart. These coils are connected to the relay in the manner shown in Fig. 1.
In Fig. 9, the coils are shown as mount ed in slots in the pole pieces. must be so located that the center line of one group of slots is spaced 180 electrical This circuit breaker is 0011- These slots or a multiple thereof from the cenof the group of slots in another pole The coils are, of course, wound 'YL'lTlu. the tooth between two adjacent slots, is common when windings are laid in slots. It is not necessary to locate these slots in a definite position since they may be losated any point in the pole pieces, just so the center lines of the groups are spaceda proper distance apart. The number of the windings is, of course, immaterial, since as will be shown later, the effect of one will be neutralized by the other during normal operation, that is, when there is no defective coil in the protected winding.
ln 10, the induced members are sepae members which are adapted to be placed nductive relation to the winding A. The 2 s of the members B and C are wound suitable supports]; and 0, whereby they be secured to or held in engagement with the -oole pieces. It will be noted that the side faces of the pole pieces form stops so the members may be spaced. apart 1S0 lGC'cilCfil degrees or a multiple thereof. The *ific construction of these members does not however form a part of this invention.
he operation will now be described: never there is a short circuitcd COll in an armature, the current in this coil will .be increased abovenormal so that it will act upon an external magnetizable object. This has been taken advantage of for testlng purposes. For instance, it has been the practice hold an iron object, as a screw driver, under one of the pole pieces of a dynamo electric machine, the coil in passing the screw pulling or vibrating. thesarne so as to give an indication of the defective coil. In ccordance with this invention, the induc- 1i 'l of such a defective coilis taken mwanta e of in protecting or testing the n ichine, by placing an induced member in active relation to the armature. There e however complications which necessithat the induced device be specially conrue-t d.
'ng to Fig. 11, this figure shows an crummy two pole machine in-which an armature rotates between the poles in the di necticn of the arrow. For convenience, the machine in this case is shown as a genera- The lines of force due to the field will,
e is armature circuit is open, pass diacross from N to S. When, however, nature circuit is closed, there will be up field at right angles to the axis of main exciting field, and this will cause resultant field to be shifted at an angle. e lines of force will then condense under railing pole pieces, if the machine is a while under the leading pole 1 s is shown diagrai'nmatically in Fig. 11.
The condition of the field as shown in Fig.
11 is the same whether the machine is a direct current generator or an alternating currentgenerator, since in both machines, the armature field will be at right angles to the main field. If the machine is a motor, of course, the field as a whole will not be changed much in form from that shown except that the lines of force are now condensed under the leading pole pieces instead or under thetrailing pole pieces.
Under normal operations when the entire or a part of the load is being thrown on and oil the generator or motor, the current passing through the armature will vary. Since the armature field will thus vary with the load, the angular position of the resultant field and the strength of this resultant field will also vary. That is, in a generator, as the load is increased the resultant field will shift in a clockwise direction while in a motor it will shift in a counter-clockwise dircction.
If, now, a single coil like B were placed at the point :0, for instance, Fig. 11 the shifting of the magnetic field or its variation in strength due to the load being thrown on the machine, would cause a variation in the number of lines of force threading the coil B, and therefore would cause an elcctro-responsive device connected in circuit to be actuated. The same would be true if the winding were placed around the pole pieces as in Fig. 8, or ii the winding would be the pole winding itself as in Fig. 2. in that case, the total number of lines of force threading the coil would vary, and therefore would cause the ictuation of the electro-responsive device if a single coil like B were used.
It is noted however, that in Fig. 11 the field at diametrical opposite points and a" will be of the same strength and that the variation in the strength of the field at 0; will be the same as that for w, or in the same proportion. Similarly, any two points located diametrically opposite for a two 'pole machine, will be symmetrical points,
since the strength of the field will vary equally or proportionally. If therefore, two coils'like B and G are located at these symmetrical points, the effect on them will be equal and therefore during the normal operation of the machine. that is, when there is no defective coil, the variation of the current in the entire armature, as when a load is thrown oil or on, will. affect both coils B and C equally, and if these coils are connected to a dificrential relay they will neutralize each other and there will be no actuation of the armature I. g
It the induced members P) and C are placed syi'mnctrical, that is, at any two points 180 electrical degrees or a multiple thcrco'l' apart, there will be no actuation or indication of the armature l. \Yhen, howbefore E, whereby the will drop down on Q,
ever, one of the coils of the armature A is short-circuited and the armature rotates in the direction of the arrow, Fig. l, the short circuited coil will pass underneath B, be fore it will pass underneath and therefore it will act inductively upon B before This will cause a current to be set up in D before E, so that coil D will be energized armature 1 will be actuated, releasing the close the circuit S and'open the circuit breaker U, which will open the armature or both the armature and field. A similar action will take place when there is a reversed coil in the armature. Similarly when there is an open circuited coil in the armature, the open circuited coil will pass B before it reaches (3 and therefore the current will be set up in D before E, and the armature will again be actuated to open the circuit breaker U.
The above discussion applies to both alternating' and direct current machines, for
in both types of machines the inductive ac tion of the armature coils at symmetrical points will be equal. This has been referred to above. The action of a short or open circuited coil on B and C will also be the in alternating current as in direct current machines. This discussion applies as well to synchronous as to assynchronous niachines, and to machines in which there is a rotating magnetic field. in the latter type of machine, the field instead of being stationary revolves, and the armature generally revolves with it. In view of the fact that the field poles are also spaced 180 electrical degrees apart, the field at any two points spaced 180 electrical degrees apart will of the same strength, that is, the field will vary in the same proportion if the points are considered as rotating around an armature. It therefore two coils B and C are spaced 180 electrical degrees then these coils will always be equally afiected by the rotating field and therefore one will neutralize the other. This is true whether the coils B and C be stationary or movable, since they always cut parts of the field which have the same strength. When, however, there is a defective coil in the primary winding, that is, the winding which sets up the rotating field, then since this defective coil is passed by one of the coils B or C, before the other, one of these coils will be affected; thus causing an actuation of the electro-responsive device in the manner described.
It will thus be seen that this invention provides a protection against defective coils within the machine itself but an external short circuit will have no effect since the external short circuit will be distributed over the entire armature winding and no matter how large the current flowing in tne member it. which armature, the coils B, will neutralize e other. ldyfineans of tie adjustable resin ance the action of the coil B, C, n the did'erential coils D, E, may be closely regulated so that under normal conditions, that is, when there are no defective coils, tl'ie coils B and G will exactly neutralize each other. By means of the adj tension of the spring l /l maybe adjusted so as to correct irregularity of the air gap, etc.
Instead of operating a circuit breaker, the
circuit may include signal or bell or a signal be directly operated by means of the armature l, for instance, it may be directly connected to the shaft upon wh? the member K is pivoted, in fact the din ential device G will operate as a signal is placed within the view of the operator. is not necessary that the induced niem coils l5, C, be placed underneath the p pieces, since they may be placed at other points around the armature, it be only necessary to space them 180 electri degrees apart, for as pointed out the inductive action of the armature is equal at syrn metrical points. sirable to place them between the pole pieces as shown in Fig. 10. lhe action in this e would of course be weaker but there are 1 ductive impulses which will efiect such coils under certain conditions, especially dur ng certain transitory stages of a short circuit. Armature reaction will also such coils and tend to actuate them.
Preferably the induced coils B, (l, are placed on the machine and nent attachment; they may, however, form. with the difierential device G a sepan portable instrument which may be used test out armatures. In Fig. '10, the mean bers B and C and their supports may with the differential relay and its attached parts a portable instrument which ay be used for testing purposes. in testin the members and C are placed in the pos ion shown in 10, the side faces of the pole pieces forming stops whereby the members may be correctly spaced. If there is no short or open circuited coil in the winding A, it will be possible to adjust the rneostats R and (Fig. 1) so that there will be no I,
actuation of the armature I. But if there is such a short or open circuited coil, it will be impossible to adjust these rh'eostats, so as to obtain a neutralization of the magi-tietic coils D and E, in view of the fact that they ustable nut P, the
it may therefore be de form a perina iorni stead of using the fieldwindings,
the field coils B C are connected in circuit with the coils Di, E of the differential device G The operation of this'arrangement is similar tothat shown in Fig. l.
The defective coil whether short or opencircuited will pass the field coils B C in succession and will cause one of the differens tial coils D E to be. energized before the other and thus actuate the armature I to close Q and open circuit breaker U The construction shown in Fig. 3 is simi to that shown in Fig. 2, except that reactance coils W, W, W, are connected in circuit with the field coils B C and on each side of the connections which lead to the differential coils D, E. These reactance coils "W will not interfere with the D. C. field current but will confine and intensify the-inductive impulses. g in the construction shown in Fig. 4, the difierential coils D, E, are connected to ld coils B, C, and spaced 360 electrical grees apart. In th construction shown in Fig. 5, the invention is shown as applied to a dynamo electric machine of the type in which the armature A is stationary while the field F rotates. The slip rings which are connected the usual brushes to the field leads L are designated by a, b. In order to reduce the number of slip rings to four, those pole idings B, C are utilized which are arest the connections to the slip rings a, b. Une Bair of terminals of the differential coils E, are connected to the field leads L while the other terminals are led to brushes bearing on slip rings 0, d, which are connected on the other side of the fieldpole windmgs B", G, as shown. The action" oi this form of the invention is similar to that shown in the preceding figures. In-
separate coils may be mounted in the pole pieces, as
Fig. l.
Fig. 6 shows the invention as applied to an induction motor or induction generator. The coils B", C, are in this case mounted in slots in the secondary or rotor of the induction motor or generator. These coils are connected to slip rings m, n, 0, which con- L v brushes to the differential coils Bill 3 shows the invention applied to analternating current generator or motor of the inductor type. The inductor generator or motor consists essentially of two comcommon magnetic circuit. The armatures which are stationary are designated by A" plete independent armatures excited by. av
and A The armatures are shown in this case as located side by side in order to illustrate the invention more clearly. In a complete machine, however, they are located axially as is well known by those skilled in the art and the rotor or inductors F and F 7b are located on a common shaft. In this case each armature winding must have its separate protective device, therefore the induced coils B" and C are mounted upon the poles of the inductor F" and are connected to slip rings which are connected in circuit with the difierential coils D" and E The induced coils B and C for the armature winding A are similarly placed on the inductor F and connected in circuit with the differential coils D" and E. The differential coils in this case are mounted upon differential devices of similar construction to that shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. For the sake of simplicity, however, these devices have been omitted in Fig. 7, as well as in Figs. 4, and 6. It is to be understood, however, that in each of the constructions each of the differential coils actuate's an armature which opens a circuit breaker in the circuit of the winding which it protects, or operates a signal as described in connection with Figs. 1, 2 and 3. In the construction shown in Fig. .7, the circuit S includes a signal for the attendant. A single signal circuit S is provided for both armatures, the two circuit closers Q" and Q being connected in multiple across the line S is utilized for notifying the attendant of a defect in either of the armature circuits. A circuit breaker for the, machine may be connected in circuit the armatures to be actuated by the circuit closers Q," and Q".
The device will not only protect the winding against short circuits or open circuits in the individual coils of the windin but also against short and open circuits 0% sections of the winding. It will be obvious that a section of a winding which is short or open circuited will act in a similar mannor as a short or open circuit in a single coil. This invention therefore provides a device. which will protect a dynamo electric machine against the damage caused by defective coils and also provides means and a method whereby such defects may be dis-, covered or tested out. The invention is applicable to all types of dynamo electric machinery whether generators or motors or whether direct or alternating current and whether the winding to be protected or tested is movable or stationary.
In this way a single signal circuit are equivalent constructions.
In the claims the terms induced member, winding, and coil are used. It is to be understood that these terms are to be taken in their broadest sense, so as to include forms in which the induced members B, C, are separate coils as in Figs. 1, 6 and 7, and also forms in which they are the windings on the field poles. Both forms The inducing member and .induced member are respectively the members which induce and have induced in them an electromotive force of current.
It is further obvious that'various changes may be made without departing from the spirit of'this invention and'it is therefore to be understood that this invention is not to be limited to the specific construction shown and described.
