ELECTRIC FURNACE REGULATGR SYSTEM Filed April 17, l937 Inventor: Louis W. Thompson His Attorney.
Patented June 21, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ELECTRIC FURNACE REGULATOR SYSTEM Louis W. Thompson, Schenectady, N. Y., assignor to General Electric Company, a corporation of New York Application April 17, 1937, Serial No. 137,522
Claims. (CI. 13-43) nace to maintain a predetermined furnace op-.
erating condition.
In carrying out my invention in one form I provide a regulator contact device for controlling an electrode adjusting motor, which regulator device is biased to a position to cause lowering of the electrode and operated in response to a furnace operating condition such as current to raise the 1 electrode. The regulator device comprises a stationary magnet core provided with two poles between which is mounted pivotally an armature connected to operate a contact member. On the stationary magnet core is an actuating coil energized in accordance with the current in the electrode circuit and also an anti-hunting coil connected across the armature of the electrode motor for effecting early deenergization of the motor so as to anticipate the final position of the electrode and preventoverrunning.
For a more complete understanding of my invention reference should be had to the accompanying drawing, the single figure of which shows in diagrammatic form an arc furnace regulator system embodying my invention.
Referrring to the drawing, I have shown my invention in one form as applied. to an arc furnace II! comprising a suitable crucible I I for a metallic charge I2 and suitable carbonaceous electrodes I3, I4 and I 5 extending into the crucible into arcing relation with the charge. While I have shown a three-phase furnace it will be understood that my invention is applicable also to a single-phase furnace or a direct current furnace. The electrodes are each adjustable in a vertical direction to vary the length of the arc in any suitable manner. This adjusting means is shown diagrammatically for the electrode I5 only, but it will be understood that the other two electrodes are each equipped with the same or suitable regulating and electrode adjusting means. As shown, the electrode I5 is adjustable by a suitable direct current reversible electric motor I6 provided with a shunt field winding I'I energized from a suitable direct current supply source I8. This motor is connected to rotate a fixed gear I9 having its bore threaded to receive a screw rod attached to the electrode I5.
The armature of the electrode motor I6 is energized from the'source of supply I8 through electromagnetic reversing switches 2I and 22 which fier. normal working current in the electrode circuit,
are in turn controlled by a regulator device 23. The electrodes I3, I4 and I5 of the furnace are electrically connected through a suitable transformer 24 to a three-phase source of supply 25.
The regulator device 23 comprises a stationary magnet core 26 shown as rectangular in shape and provided with spaced pole faces on one side between which is mounted pivotally an armature 21 made of magnet core iron. The armature 21 is pivotally connected at a point 28, at a suitable distance from the pivot 29 of the armature, to the bridging contact 30 of a two-way relay switch. This switch is arranged when the contact 30 is in its lowermost position, to which it is biased by gravity as shown, to connect the operating coil 3I of the switch 2I across the supply source I8 and, when moved to its uppermost position, to connect the operating coil 32 of the switch 22 to the supply source I8.
For operation of the regulator 23, two coils 33 and 34 are provided on the stationary magnet core 26. The coil 33 is connected to a main of the supply source 25 corresponding with the electrode I5 "through a suitable rectifier, shown as a two-way copper oxide rectifier 35, and a current transformer 36. Thus the coil 33 is supplied with direct current having a value dependent upon the value of the alternating current being supplied to the electrode I 5. For purposes of adjustment an adjustable resistance 31 is connected across the current transformer 35.
Also, for the protection of the copper oxide rectifier 35 a saturable iron core reactor 38 is connected in shunt to or parallel with the recti- Under normal operating conditions, i. e.,
this reactor is nearly but not quite saturated, whereby nearly all of the current in the current transformer circuit is caused to pass through the rectifier. In the event that the elecrode dips into the bath, however, with consequent high currents, the reactor becomes saturated and bypasses a large amount of the current around the copper oxide rectifier.
The anti-hunting or damping coil. is connected, as shown, directly across the armature of the motor I6; a suitable regulating resistance 39 being connected in series with it. The connections of the coil 34 are such that when the motor I6 is energized to raise the electrode, i. e., by movement of the switch 22 to its uppermost position, the coil 34 tends to excite the magnet core 26 in opposition to the coil 33. This has the effect of weakening the excitation of the magnet core so that the armature 21' moves down in accordance with its bias from the weight of the contact 30 to move the contact 3|] to a mid-position somewhat earlier than would otherwise be the case, whereby the motor I6 is deenergized sufficiently early to take into account substantially its tendency to overrun after deenergization due to the inertia of its parts. The electrode I5 is therefore brought to rest closely in the proper position. In the event that the regulator energizes the coil 3| for operation of the motor IE to lower the electrode, the coil 34 is reversed with reversal of the motor armature, and under these conditions acts in the same direction as the coil 33 whereby the motor I6 is deenergized early to compensate for overrunning.
In the operation of the system the regulator 23 is adjusted by regulation of the resistance 31 so as to be energized sufllciently by the actuating coil 33 in response to the current supplied to the electrode l5 to maintain its switch contact in the intermediate open circuit position shown in the drawing. When the electrode current decreases, for example because of the burning away of the electrode and the lengthening of the arc, the contact 30 tends to move to its lowermost position until, upon the occurrence of ductor 44, switch 22 and conductor 45 back to the supply source. Just before the establishment of the predetermined current condition, by reason of the accumulative effect of the coil 34 as previously described, the contact 30 is returned to its intermediate position whereby the switch 2| drops to its lowermost position disconnecting the motor from the supply source l8 and connecting a dynamic braking resistance 46 across the motor armature.
In the event the current in the electrode cir-z cult becomes greater for any .reason than the predetermined normal, the regulator 23 raises the contact 30 to its uppermost position whereby a circuit is established from the supply source I! to the coil 32 which throws the switch 22 to its uppermost position. This establishes a circuit for the armature of the motor IS in the opposite direction for reverse rotation for raising of the electrode. The circuit may be traced from the supply source through the conductor 40, resistance 4|, switch 22, conductor 44, armature of the motor, conductor 43, switch 2|, braking resistance 46 and conductor back to the supply source. The motor operates until just prior to the establishment of the normal current condition, the contact 30 is moved to its intermediate position whereby themotor is disconnected from the source I and the resistor 46 connected across its armature for dynamic braking.
Resistors 4| and 42 are provided for motor speed regulating purposes. It will be noted that both resistances are in the motor circuit in series with each other when the switch 2| is moved to its uppermost position to lower the electrode, whereas the resistor 4| only is included in'the motor circuit when the switch 22 is moved to its uppermost position for the raising operation. This provides greater torque for the raising operation, the adjustments of the resistance being made to give about the same motor speed in each case.
For the purpose of damping out the effect of small transitory changes in the furnace current a suitable damping means is preferably used with the regulator 23. As shown, a copper damping sleeve 41 is provided around the lower arm of the magnet core 28 under the coils 33 and 34. This prevents operation of the regulator to start the motor in response to transitory currents which tend to correct themselves, although a pe1'-.
sistent current of too low or too high value pro duces operation of the regulator.
While I have shown a particular embodiment of my invention, it will be understood, of course, that I do not wish to be limited thereto since many modifications may be made, and I therefore contemplate by the appended claims to cover any such modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of my invention.
