Original No. 1,224,400, dated May 1, 1917, Serial No. 44,449, filed August 9, 1915. Application for reissue filed May 13, 1919. Serial No. 296,913.
tective devices and particularly to means for protecting electrical translating devices in accordance with the temperature and the load traversing such devices.
The object of my invention is to provide an electrical protective device that is actuated only when the load traversing a translating device is of a predetermined valueat substantiallfy the same instant that the temperature 0 said device is of a predetermined value.
Heretofore, time-limit relays have been provided for the purpose of tripping circuit interrupters upon the occurrence of a persistent overload and for preventing the tripa ping of the same upon the occurrence of a momentary overloa Since the load traversing some devices is not detrimental because of their superior ventilating, radiating and heat-storing prop erties, it has been suggested that it is only necessa to disconnect such devices from the circuit when their temperature reaches a destructive value. However, since the ex-' cessive heating of'electrical translating devices is dependent upon the load, I provide a system comprising an overload relay and a temperature relay having their contact members so connected in series relation that thetranslating device is disconnected from a the circuit only when the load traversing the circuit is of a redeterminedvalue, and the temperature 0 the translating device, to which the relays are connected, is also of a predetermined value. Thus, if the load is of a predetermined value and the temperature is relatively low, the translating device will not be disconnected from the circuit and if the temperature is of a predetermined value and the load is so decreased in value as to duce the tem erature to safe values, the
device will not disconnected from the circuit. Hence, under no conditions is the circuit unnecessarily interru ted.
The single figure of e accompanying drawing is a diagrammatic illustration of an electrical translating device that is protected by a system embodying my invention.
An electrical circuit 1 is provided with a circuit interrupter 2 and is operatively connected to the primary winding 3 of a transformer 4, the secondary winding 5 of which is connected to an electrical circuit 6. A relay 7, comprising. a winding 8, a movable core member 9 and a movable contact member 10, is operatively connected to the circuit 1 and is so adjusted as to be actuated when the load traversing the circuit '1 reaches a predetermined value. A thermometer'll is inserted in the tank 12 of the transformer 4 and is provided with two con-' tact members 13 and 14 that are adapted to be bridged by the mercury 15 of the thermometer when the oil in the tank 12 reaches a predetermined temperature. The thermometer 11 may be supplanted by any other form of. contact making. temperature responsive device such as a thermostat or a contact making voltmeter actuated by thermo-couples. I
The relay 7 is provided with two stationary contact members 16 that are adapted to be engaged by the movable contact member 10. The contact members 14, 15 and 16 are connected in a circuit .17 that comprises a source of electro-motive force 18 and the winding 19 of a tripping electro-magnet 20.
When the relay 7 is sufiiciently energized to operate, and the thermometer 11 is subjected to'such temperatures that the contact members 13 and 14 are bridged by the mercury 15, current will traverse the winding 19 to trip the circuit interrupter. The circuit interrupter 2 is'tripped'only when the overload on the transformer 4 occurs at substantially the same instant that the tempera ture of the transformer is of a predetermined value. It will be understood that the thermometer 11 is so disposed with respect to the transformer 4 that the mercury 14 rises to such height as to be an indication of the'temperature of the hottest portion of the transformer.
While I have illustrated my invention with respect to a transformer and a circuit interrupter for protectin the same, it will be understood t atflmy evice may be utilized with other translatin devices and with other protective means. t will be further with understood that my invention is not limited to the particular type of overload and temerature relay, as many modifications may be used without. departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set fort in the appended claims.
