HIGH VOLTAGE DIRECT CURRENT CONTACTOR Filed Dec. 17, 1936 WITNESSES: p Id lgvfrgggra 5. 0770 z e W 00M QflgYP?Ub?7Z Zea M a 4/ W ATTO NEY Patented Sept. 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 HIGH VOLTAGE DIRECT CURRENT CONTACTOB Donald G. Little, Longmeadow, and Reuben Lee, Springfield, Maia, asaignors to Westinghouse acturing Company Electriet East Pittsburgh, h a corporation of Application December 11:, 1930, Serial No. uasss 1: Claims. (L 175494) Our invention relates to high voltage 'direct current circuits, more particularly to a method and means for opening such circuits without the accompaniment of destructive arcing across the switch contacts. The invention constitutes an improvement upon the invention disclosed in an earlier filed copending application in the name of Reuben Lee, Serial No. 31,745, filed July 16,1935. It is an object of our invention togprovide means whereby the high voltage direct current circuit may be opened without arcing across the' opening contacts.
It is a further object of our inventionto provide means whereby a. plurality of apparatus, ted
is from a'high voltage direct current source, may
be'individually cut in' or out .of the supply circuit without necessitating opening of the mmDlvsom-ce to the other apparatus.
A further object of our invention is to provide means for disconnecting a load from a high voltage direct current supply source upon the occurrence of an overload without producing destructive efiects upon such other loadcircuits as may be connected to the same high voltage direct cur- 5 rent supply source. I v Additional objects of our invention will be pointed out in the following description oi the same, taken in conjunction with the-accompanying drawing wherein the four figures constitute each a circuit diagram embodying the features of our invention.
Theieatures of our invention constitute improvements upon the circuit of Fig. 1 of the aforementioned application Serial No. 31,745, wherein there is disclosed a source of high voltage direct current energy I. which might constitute either aautomatically controlledswltch. In accordance "with the intended operation of this circuit, the load 0 may be disconnected from its high voltage direct current supply source by the mere opening of the circuit at the switch or contacts ii, and this may be accomplished without the occurrence of sparking across the contacts. According to the theory upon which this circuit operates, at the instant of opening the con-- tacts ll, thereis zero voltage acrouthem by rea-.
son of the fact that the voltage acrossthe load 9 due to the voltage which -has accumulated across the condenser 'I will be substantially equal 5 to, but opposite in phase to, the voltage of the direct current source, and they being in series opposition at the instant the switch begins to open, there e'rists no voltage gradient across the contacts. 7 10 A transient condition begins to exist, however.
" due to the discharge of the condenser 1 across the load thus decreasing the series opposing voltage and permitting a voltage to develop across the opening contacts, but the rate of decrease is is small compared to the speed of opening of "the contacts ll, so that at no instant does the voltage ,which builds up across the opening contacts exceed the instantaneous breakdown voltage duringtheopeningperiod.'- go During closing of the switch or contacts ii, and to prevent a sudden heavy charging current through the condenser I at the instant "of the closing of the switch, a'iresistance I! of small value is inserted in series with this-condenser. as
The improvements which we have made upon the above described circuit have for their purpose to permit sudden o'verloadsto cause opening of. the contacts ll before the condensers and 1 have an opportunity to discharge into the .30 load, that excess energy which the load is in the process of demanding from the circuit under such conditions; and also to eliminate a bare possibility of arcing across the'eontacts ii, due to the'presence of thereaistance 22 which has 35 placed in the circuit for the purpose of prevente ing heavy charting currents condenser I at theinstant oi'closing of the switch. V v Accordingly, in order to satisfy the objects at. our invention, we shunt the resistance 22 by a so switch or pair of contacts 2| and cause the same to operate in accordance with the operition o! the switch II, but lagsins the operation or the switch by a brief time interval, both on the make and the break operation. I
Another feature of the invention resides in more strongly fortiiying the switch ii against arcing when the operation of the same is initiated 'byreason of an overload condition. This'is accomplished by placing between the filter con- 50 denser I and the load, and in the load circuit,
an impedance 21; and in shunt with the load we locate a condenser 20. combination will serve to prevent a sudden overload from permitting the filter condensers l and "I from discharg- 86 ing into the load circuit, and this is explained by the fact that the instantaneous excess energy, which is demanded by the load upon the occurrence of an overload, will be supplied by the condenser 29 shunting the load, whereas the in-.
ductance 21 will serve as'an obstacle to the in-,
stantaneousflow of energy from the filter circuit. Thus the proper condition of stability exists for permitting the load disconnecting contacts to open without the occurrence of a sparking potential across the opening contacts.
With the inductance. 2i and load shunting condenser 29 in the circuit, the overload relay coil for actuating the resistance shunting contacts will preferably be located in that portion of the load circuitsupplied by the shunting condenser upon the occurrence of an overload condition, thus making it certain that the overload relay coil will operate with maximum speed.
The various circuits disclosed in the Figs. 1 to 4 illustrate different means and methods for operating the switch H to open and close the circuit to'the load 9, and at the same time, obtain fering in the fastoperation of the load discon-' necting switch ll. Any other devices known in the art which will interpose a similar delay may be utilized for the purpose.
In the circuit'of Fig. l, the operating coil for actuating the switch H and the shunting contacts is connected in series with the load whereby it-will carry the entire load current and thus produce maximum eiiect in response to overload conditions occurring in the circuit.
In ,the circuit of Fig. 2, the operating coil 3i is connected in a separate circuit across the source of direct-current voltage through a switch or relay contacts 35, the operation of which is controlled by a winding 37 connected in the load circuitin series with the load 9. The operating coil circuit is normally opened and is closed only in response to excitation of the coil 37 in the load circuit, which-is designed to respond during conditions of overload, when it will close the switch 35 to excite the operating coil 3i and open the load circuit switch Ii and the shunting contacts 25 in the proper sequence.
The circuit of .Fig. 3 is somewhat similar to thatof Fig.2, except that it is designed for manual operation only, and does not embody operation of the switches in response to overload con- .ditions. In accordance with the disclosure in this figure,.a manually operated spring biased circuit ,closingdevice 39 is embodied in the operating coil circuit, the closing of which switch will complete thecircuit through the operating winding 3! and cause the proper operation of the switchesdn question. 4
In the embodiment of our invention disclosed in the circuit of Fig. 4, the proper sequential operation of the load circuit switch I! and the shunting switch 25 is obtained, not through any particular construction of the switch operating mechanism, but through a series of inter-con.-
development of an overload condition, the opera- 'tion of the resistance shunting switch 25 will occur after the operation of the main load switch 5 l, which is the sequence desired.
Since the load disconnecting contacts will open without sparking or arcing across the contacts, any other loads, connected in. multiple with the load 9 experiencing an overload condition, will not be aiiected thereby, and the same would be true werethat same load 9 disconnected from the circuit through manual operation of the same or equivalent contacts. Parallel connected load circuits are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and it is understood, are applicable in the circuits of Figs. 3 and 4.
In each of the above described circuits of Figs.
1, 2 and 4, the relay, which operates directly in response to the overload condition, is provided with a manually releasable latching device ll which, upon energization of the relay, holds it in energized position. Upon releasing of the latching mechanism, proper sequential closing of the switches or contacts ii and25 is assured, the switch I i being first to close in every instance. In the circuit of Fig. 3, the latch is associated with the coil 3 i.
The circuits of the type described iind their principal application in the field of radio, where a plurality of transmitters are fed from a common source of high voltage directcurrent energyof the order of 15,000 volts. It is quite often desirable to be able to switch one or the other of these transmitters in or out of the circuit at such high or higher voltages, without interrupting or cutting in on the operation of the other transmitters.
While we have disclosed our invention in great detail, various modifications may be apparent to those skilled in the art, and it is our desire that our invention be not limited to the specific details disclosed, but that it shall be only limited by the prior art and the appended claims.
