    摘要: Disclosed is a characteristic timer for a protective relay which provides protection for a portion of an A.C. transmission line. The characteristic timer has digital logic elements adapted to external circuitry for selecting one or more desired phase angles which determines the activation time of a characteristic timer, which, in turn, determines the operational characteristic of the protective relay. The digital logic of the characteristic timer is further adapted to an external circuitry for selecting an integrating or non-integrating type function for the characteristic timer.

    摘要: A method for detecting excessive current in a system and interrupting the delivery of further current thereto comprises determining actual system current, obtaining a value of a predetermined system parameter indicative of the time the actual system current can safely exist in the system, creating a dynamic history of the predetermined system parameter by repetitively modifying the predetermined system parameter in accordance with actual system current, and interrupting power to the system if the dynamic history of the predetermined system parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold. The predetermined system parameter may be quadratically extended into an undefined region in order to decrease the response time to an overload or fault condition.

    摘要: Apparatus for monitoring the fault current in the ground conductor of a polyphase AC electrical power system. When the fault current exceeds a predetermined level, the magnetic field produced causes a magnetic reed switch to close and open at twice the AC frequency. Pulse producing circuitry connected to the reed switch responds to the switch action to produce pulses at the same frequency. The pulses are counted by logic circuitry, and when a predetermined number of pulses have been counted, an output signal triggers circuitry which trips circuit breaker apparatus in the power system. The delay period between first detecting the fault current and tripping of the circuit breaker apparatus can be adjusted by changing the number of pulses to be counted by the logic circuitry before it produces an output signal.

    摘要: An overcurrent protection system adaptable for use with power controllers the single or multi-phase ac, or dc types includes a load current sensing element in combination with an overcurrent sensing/inverse time delay circuit, a power switch and a crowbar circuit. The system also includes a drive circuit, a drive circuit input current sensor, a trip signal detector and a logic circuit. The overcurrent protection system, according to the present invention, uses the drive circuit to power the overcurrent sensing/inverse time delay circuit, to drive the power switch, and to provide a coupling path for an overcurrent fault signal across electrical isolation interface(s) thereof to the logic circuit. Thus, the need for a separate isolated power supply for powering the overcurrent sensing/inverse time delay circuit and the need for separate optical and/or electromagnetic isolation interfaces for coupling of the overcurrent fault signal are eliminated.

    摘要: A circuit breaker includes a digital electronic trip unit having a microprocessor. The front panel of the trip unit includes a potentiometer connected across a reference voltage, and a numeric display device. The potentiometer is adjusted by an operator to enter a value of a parameter defining the time-current characteristic of the circuit breaker. An analog-to-digital converter receives the voltage supplied by the potentiometer and converts it to a digital quantity for use by the microcomputer in performing limit checks with the current flow through the contacts of the breaker. The microcomputer formats the converted digital value of the potentiometer voltage and supplies it to a front panel-visible numeric display so that the value of the potentiometer setting as interpreted by the microcomputer in defining the time-current trip characteristic is presented on the numeric display to provide real-time feedback to the operator as he adjusts the parameter value.

    摘要: An electronic control system and associated circuit breaker is taught in which the effect of in-rush current on mining equipment, for example, in regard to tripping is minimized even though a single phase fault of an equal magnitude is adequately provided for. This is done even though the same circuit breaker system and circuit breaker for both situations is utilized. A resistive capacitive series network is utilized to separate the ripple frequency from the DC value of the overload current being sensed. If the ripple component is relatively high for a given amount of overload current in the lines to be protected, then that is indicative of a single-phase fault for which circuit breaker tripping should be provided. If on the other hand the same amount of current causes a ripple component of a relatively low value, that is indicative of balanced three-phased overload which is usually indicative of in-rush or spurious transients. In any case, higher values of overload will cause other portions of the circuit to trip for safety. A time delay is provided at the output of an operational amplifier interconnected with the series resistive capacitive circuit. The time delay provides further protection against spurious tripping. Furthermore, tuned feedback is provided for the operational amplifier to distinguish between the ripple frequency of a single-phase fault and the ripple frequency of a three-phase fault.

    摘要: In an overcurrent protecting apparatus for interrupting overcurrent in accordance with a coordination tripping curve characteristic, there are provided a microcomputer, a current/voltage converter for converting an overcurrent into a first voltage, D/A converting means for converting each output successively delivered from the microcomputer into a second voltage, and comparator means for comparing the first voltage with the second voltage. The delivering of the outputs from the microcomputer to the D/A converting means continues until an output is delivered from the comparator means to a first input of the microcomputer. Another comparator is also provided for delivering its output to a second input of the microcomputer when the first voltage is extremely high.

    摘要: An overcurrent signal is replicated by current mirrors for joint processing by a long-time trip mode network and a short-time trip mode network pursuant to initiating a circuit breaker trip function after an adjustably predetermined delay predicated on the overcurrent signal magnitude. The former network measures signal against a sloping I.sup.2 t portion of an established trip time curve, while the latter optionally measures the overcurrent signal against a second I.sup.2 t curve portion terminating in a selected one of plural fixed time delay curve portion. Short-time delay zone selective interlocking between upstream and downstream breakers and long-time delay pickup indication are also disclosed.
