摘要:
Electrical circuit protection devices containing PTC elements comprised of conductive polymers which exhibit PTC behavior and are used to protect a load in an electrical circuit, in which the PTC conductive polymers are based on highly crystalline and highly ordered liquid crystal polymers and particulate conductive fillers dispersed therein, which are cross-linked by radiation. These circuit protection devices operate as automatically resettable current limiters and are particularly useful for protecting motors, solenoids, telephone lines and batteries, and for enhancing circuit interruption capability when used in conjunction with breakers and contactors. The liquid crystal polymers include aromatic polyesters, e.g., poly(p-phenylene terephthalate) and poly(p-hydroxybenzoate); aromatic copolyesters, e.g., poly(p-hydroxybenzoate-co-2,6-hydroxynaphthoate), poly(deca-methyleneterephthaloyl di-p-hydroxybenzoate, and poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-oxybenzoate); aromatic copolyester amides, e.g., poly(2,6-hydroxy-naphoate-phenoxyaminoterephthoate); aromatic polyamides, e.g., poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide), Kevlar, poly(p-benzamide), poly(2-chloro-1,4-phenylene terephthalamide), poly(p,p'-biphenylamide), and poly(2,6-napthalamide); aromaticpolyazomethines, e.g., poly (nitro-2-methyl-1,4-phenylenenitriloethylidine-1,4-phenylenethylidine), poly(nitrilo-2-methyl-1,4-phenylenenitrilomethylidine-1,4-phenylenemethylidine), and poly(nitrolo-2-chloro-1,4-phenylenenitrilomethylidine-1,4-phenylenemethylidine); and, blends thereof. The particulate conductive fillers include carbon black, carbon fibers, graphite, and metal flakes.

摘要:
A resin-rich electrically conductive felt material is described. The described conductive felt can be used to suppress corona discharge in high voltage generator coils. The conductive felt is prepared by treatment with electrically conducting polymers, such as polyaniline and polypyrrole, and resistivity values ranging from 4,000 to 100,000 ohms may be obtained. This treated felt can be readily impregnated with thermoset resins, such as epoxies, to provide flexible prepregs suitable for coil bonding applications in turbine generators.
摘要:
Novel conductive liquid compositions which have low resistivity when carrying an applied steady-state current (I.sub.Steady-State) but exhibit sharp increases in resistivity when subject to an applied fault current (I.sub.Fault). When used in circuit protection devices, the novel conductive liquid compositions having low resistivity are contained within an elongated flexible tube sealed by electrodes electrically connected to a load of an electrical circuit. The conductive liquid compositions carry an applied normal current under steady-state conditions. The flexible tube is deformed by radial contraction transverse to the direction of current flow and axial expansion, when an excessive current of fault magnitude is sensed by an actuator electrically connected to the electrodes and mechanically connected to the flexible tube to apply a deformation force on the tube, thereby causing the current path of the conductive liquid compositions to have high resistivity in order to limit the let through current to a safe value (I.sub.Limited). When the excessive current is removed, the deformation is correspondingly removed and the conductive liquid composition automatically reverts back to its original low resistivity state. The invention has specific applications as automatically resettable fuses or current limiters.

Methods of preparing ferrite powders for use in microwave elements such as isolators, circulators, phase shifters and transmission line elements. In one method separate precipitations of metal dicarboxylate salts such as oxalates or malonates are mixed with a ferrous dicarboxylate. This is followed by mixing and calcining of the precipitated dicarboxylates to form the ferrite powder. In another method metal acetates in a solution of concentrated acetic acidare mixed with iron powder to form a solution which is mixed with malonic acid. The resulting mixed metal malonates are processed into a powder which is calcined to obtain the ferrite. To form a lithium ferrite, lithium carbonate is added to prepared powders prior to the calcining step.
摘要:
The invention provides an electrical circuit protection device using a conductive liquid contained in a flexible tube contacted and sealed at each end by an annular metal electrode capped by a flexible membrane. The flexible tube is further sealed inside a solid insulating tube which contains a ferromagnetic liquid. The ferromagnetic liquid surrounds the flexible tube and remains in intimate contact with the outside of the flexible tube and is connected to a load sensing element which generates a magnetic field in the ferromagnetic fluid in response to excessive currents applied in the current path through the conductive liquid between the electrodes. This assembly is contained inside a tubular resistor. Under normal current conditions, a current flows through the conductive liquid which has relatively low resistivity. Upon a fault condition, a self generated magnetic field from the fault current causes the ferromagnetic fluid to rapidly constrict and pinch off current flow in the conductive liquid by constricting the current path in the liquid through deformation of the flexible capsule, i.e., by radial contraction and axial expansion. The current is then preferably commutated to the cylindrical resistor to limit the let through current to a safe value. Once the fault is limited, the magnetic field is dissipated and the flexible membranes force the conductive liquid and ferromagnetic fluid back to its their original position and the conductive liquid accordingly automatically reverts back to low resistivity for normal current conduction.
摘要:
A process for making an improved current limiting composition comprising mixing an epoxy thermosetting resin containing more than one 1,2 epoxy groups per molecule with an acid anhydride curing agent, an epoxy reactive diluent, first and second co-accelerators and conductive additive particles to form a liquid mixture. The liquid mixture is heated at a first temperature range below gelation temperature while drawing a vacuum to drive off volatiles and gases. Continued heating at a second temperature range promotes gelation and heating a third temperature range effects a final cure. A first co-accelerator becomes effective during the gelation temperature range and a second co-accelerator does not become effective until the final cure temperature range. Gelation takes about 2 to 4 hours at about 130° C. to 140° C. and final cure takes about 13 to 18 hours at about 140° C. to 160° C. The epoxy resin is preferably a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, the epoxy reactive diluent is preferably a diglycidyl ether of neopentyl glycol, the acid anhydride hardener is preferably 1-methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride and the conductive additive particles are selected from the group consisting of carbon black, nickel fiber, nickel flake, nickel beads and copper flake. An effective amount of said alumina trihydrate is employed in the mixture to prevent dielectric breakdown, arcing and carbon tracking under high voltage conditions in current limiting compositions. The first co-accelerator is 1-methyl imidazole and the second co-accelerator is chromium acetylacetonate.
摘要:
Liquid crystal thermoset epoxy resin is used as an electrical insulator on electrical conducting devices such as coils and transformers. The linear epoxy/mesogen/epoxy molecule of the liquid crystal thermoset epoxy resin results in a electrical insulator with a high degree of crystallinity. This results in an electrical insulator with mechanical and electrical properties suitable for use in high temperature, high stress environments.
