    摘要: Programmed overcurrent protection control apparatus with selectable time-overcurrent operation to govern the interruption of current through at least one power line associated with either a ground phase or a power phase of a power system network is disclosed. A programmed processor is included to derive an overcurrent time-to-trip in accordance with sampled measurement current values of the power line and selected derivation constants stored in a memory look-up table. The derivation constants are selected from the look-up table based on derivation parameters which may be set and read by the programmed processor from time to time. The programmed processor utilizes the selected derivation constants to derive the time-to-trip over a number of predetermined time intervals during which the overcurrent condition persists. An alternate overcurrent time-to-trip relationship utilizing different derivation parameters selected from the look-up table may be utilized for the conditions in which overcurrent exists in an initial predetermined range. In some situations, both of the derivation relationships may be used concurrently to derive the overcurrent time-to-trip.

    摘要: A completely digital robot control operates at a predetermined sampling rate. The robot arm has a plurality of joints with each driven by an electric brushless or brush-type DC motor which is in turn supplied with drive current by a power amplifier bridge circuit having power switches connected therein to supply motor winding current in the forward or reverse direction.Incremental or absolute encoders and tachometers provide for generating digital position and velocity feedback signals generated synchronously with the sampling rate. Digital motor current feedback signals are also generated synchronously with the sampling rate.Paired position/velocity microprocessors generate torque commands for each of the robot axes at the sampling rate in response to the position commands and the position and velocity feedback signals. Paired torque microprocessors generate motor voltage commands for each of the robot axes at the sampling rate in response to the torque commands and the current feedback signals.Pulse width modulators generate digital motor control signals for each of the robot axes at the sampling rate in response to the voltage commands. The digital control signals for each axis are coupled to control terminals of the corresponding power switches to control on/off switch time and satisfy the motor voltage commands and thereby satisfy the position commands.

    摘要: A capacitive angular displacement transducer having a rotor plate and a first and second stator plates is disclosed. The rotor plate is coaxially mounted between, and parallel to, the first and second stator plates. The first stator plate is divided into four excitation areas each being impressed with a sinusoidal excitation voltage having a different phase angle. The rotor plate has a first face having two conductive patterns. The two conductive patterns act as resolvers to produce resultant voltages from the vector addition of the voltages variably capacitively coupled thereon due to the excitation voltages. The rotor plate has a second face having two annular conductive areas electrically connected to the conductive patterns of the first rotor face. The second rotor face together with the second stator plate form a constant capacitive pickup for the resultant voltages produced by the two conductive patterns of the first rotor face.

    摘要: A bus differential relay which is capable of distinguishing between an internal bus fault and an external fault on a feeder line with saturation of the faulted feeder line current transformer during portions of the alternating current cycles thereof is disclosed. The relay generates a net current signal or differential signal from the signals generated by the feeder line current transformers of the protected bus section. During an internal fault, the current differential signal extends in amplitude beyond fault current limits and a trip signal is generated to interrupt current to the bus section. During an external fault with current transformer saturation, the current differential signal will include amplitude portions of the alternating current cycles which exceed the fault limits. However, the current differential signal will also include portions of its waveform which are zero or near zero in amplitude (flat spots) which portions reflect that the current transformer of the faulted feeder line is operating out of saturation. If these flat spots occur for a sustained duration of time, for each half cycle the trip signal generation by the relay is inhibited.

    摘要: An electrical switch with overcurrent protection communicates as a slave with a remote master station by sending return messages to the remote master station only in response to messages addressed to it. A portable unit plugs into the electrical switch and disables communications between the electrical switch and the remote master station. The portable unit then establishes communications with the electrical switch by sending a global message to the electrical switch requesting the unique address at successive baud rates until a return message containing the electrical switches' address is received. A communications module in the electrical switch transfers to a master mode in response to the global message in order to send the return message containing its unique address. It then reverts to the slave mode for response to subsequent messages from the portable unit containing the unique address. Either the remote master station or the portable unit can test the circuit breaker by sending a message containing a digital test current to the circuit breaker.

    摘要: A circuit interrupter samples waveforms in a protected circuit by taking samples in pairs spaced 90 electrical degrees apart. The sum of the squares of samples in each pair, which is representative of the RMS value of the fundamental frequency of the waveform, is used for instantaneous protection by comparing a running sum of the squares for the two most recent pairs of samples to a threshold representative of the instantaneous trip pick-up value. This sum of the squares of successive two pairs of samples is also used for short delay protection. A delay between successive pairs of samples is varied to produce a selected equivalent sampling rate after a given number of samples. Samples accumulated at this equivalent sampling rate, which is sixty-four samples per cycle in the preferred embodiment, are used for long delay protection and metering.

    摘要: A circuit breaker with a digital trip unit has a protection mode and a waveform capture mode of operation. In the protection mode, an equivalent sampling technique based upon pairs of samples spaced 90 electrical degrees apart with a pattern of delays between pairs is used to digitize the waveforms in the protected electrical system. Synchronous sampling is used in the waveform capture mode. The value of each sample is monitored in the waveform capture mode and a transfer is made back to the protection mode if a threshold value indicating an overcurrent condition is exceeded. The percentage total harmonic distortion, and per harmonic distortion for harmonics, up to and including the 27th are sequentially presented on a display on the front panel of the circuit breaker and can be transmitted along with the raw waveform data to a remote processor.

    摘要: A circuit interrupter with a digital trip unit automatically sets the sampling interval appropriate for the 50 Hz or 60 Hz distribution system to which the interrupter is connected. In order to avoid falsely shifting the interval in response to distorted currents, the trip unit only changes the interval if the number of zero crossings of the current within a fixed number of samples is within two zero crossings of the number of zero crossings for an undistorted current of the other frequency for two consecutive time periods in which the fixed number of samples are taken. Furthermore, changes in the interval are only written into an EEPROM for use on power-up a fixed number of times to preclude disabling the EEPROM. In one embodiment, a 2 pole filter is utilized in the zero crossing counting circuit to eliminate false counts from noise originating in a chopper used in the trip unit power supply. In another embodiment, the zero crossing counting circuit is disabled unless external dc power is available for the trip unit which idles the chopper.
