57 ABSTRACT An arrangement for feeding the power winding of an electromagnet with rectified A.C. by means of a thyristor or triac. The latter is inserted in parallel with a transistor the conducting condition of which is pro vided by a condenser fed by the rectified A.C. and discharging into the base of the transistor which latter acts then on the electrode controlling the thyristor, to allow the latter to return into its non-conductive condition at the end of an alternation. A maintenance or holding current is provided either through an auxiliary electromagnet winding or through a chopped current feeding the power winding and produced by a pulse generator.
5 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures ELECTROMAGNET-CONTROLLING SYSTEM The present invention covers an arrangement controlling an electromagnet and adapted to supply upon energization a strong initial current, followed by a weaker maintenance current. Such an arrangement allows in particular the electromagnet to exert a larger initial attraction without exaggeratedly heating its winding, since the maintenance current following the initial current is comparatively weak.
The control arrangement comprises, according to the invention, a Graetz rectifier connected with a supply of AC. and feeding an electromagnet winding in series with a thyristor, the control electrode and the cathode of which are connected with each other through delaying means which become conductive at a predetermined moment following the closing of a control switch.
In the accompanying drawings:
FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate diagrammatically and by way of example two embodiments of the arrangement forming the object of the invention.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, a rectifier 1 operating on both alternations is connected through a switch S with the terminals a and b fed by a supply of A.C., e.g. the
mains.
The controlled electromagnet includes two windings B, and B the maintenance winding B being fed directly across the terminals and d of the rectifier l. The power winding B, is connected across said output terminals of the rectifier, in series with a resistance R and a transistor T,. Said winding B, is also connected with the negative output terminal d of the rectifier through a thyristor T in series with two diodes D, and D The base of the transistor T, is connected with a condenser C through a Zener diode Z. This condenser C forms with the resistance R, and RC element. The base of the transistor T, is connected with its emitter through a leak resistance R The power winding B, is shunted by a diode D The operation of the arrangement is as follows:
The closing of the switch S obviously energizes the winding B The winding B, is also subjected to a positive voltage since the transistor T, is non-conductive at the start; in fact the control electrode of the thyristor T is practically subjected to the voltage of the positive terminal c of the rectifier, whereas the cathode of said thyristor is substantially at the voltage of the terminal d. The thyristor T is therefore conductive, so that the power winding B, is fed.
The condenser C is loaded gradually through the resistance R, and when itsvoltage reaches the threshold voltage of the Zener diode, said voltage is applied on the base of the transistor T, which becomes conductive.
The control electrode of the thyristor T returns then to the voltage of the terminal b and is therefore negative with reference to the cathode of the thyristor by reason of the drop in voltage by about 2 volts across the diodes D, and D Since the drop in voltage across the transistor T, is about 0.5 V,.the control electrode is biased negatively by about 1.5 V with reference to the cathode of the thyristor T The thyristor is therefore under conditions which make its extinction an easy matter during the next passage through zero of the rectified current fed by the rectifier l.
After extinction of the thyristor T the winding B, is no longer fed and only the maintenance winding B remains operative. It should be remarked that the diode D cuts out all overvoltages in the winding B, during said extinction of the thyristor T Of course, many modifications may be brought to the circuit described and in particular it is possible to re place the Zener diode Z by any other component provided with a threshold voltage beyond which it becomes conductive.
The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 distinguishes from the first embodiment through the absence of an auxiliary maintenance winding B for the electromagnet. The circuit feeding the winding B, is identical with that of FIG. 1 except for a resistance R inserted be tween the collector of the transistor T, and the control electrode of the thyristor T In this second embodiment, a pulse generator 2 provides the application to the control electrode of the thyristor T of pulses synchronized with the frequency of the mains and phase-shifted with reference to the latter. Thus, when the transistor T, becomes conductive and prevents consequently the automatic ignition of the thyristor T the latter is rendered conductive during each alternation by the pulses supplied by the generator 2. Thus, there is obtained a chopped current, the average value of which is lower than that of the current obtained at the start. Said chopped current forms the maintenance current for the electromagnet.
The pulse generator comprises, as well-known per se, a single-junction transistor T fed through a resistance R, and across a Zener diode Z The voltage across the terminals of said diode Z is applied to the base of the transistor T through a resistance R which loads a condenser C Each time the voltage across the terminals of said condenser reaches the threshold value of the transistor T the latter becomes conductive and allows the passage through a resistance R, of a current which produces a voltage pulse which is applied to the control electrode of the thyristor T An important advantage of the circuits described resides in the fact that, whatever the voltage of the mains may be, the voltage to which the transistor T, is subjected never rises above a few volts, since fora voltage of this magnitude, the thyristor T becomes immediately conductive.
It is of course possible to bring numerous modifications to the wiring diagrams described and, in particular, the thyristor T may be replaced by a triac. In such a case, the pulse generator 2 may be provided so as to supply pulses of a negative polarity while the diodes B,v I"
and D may be omitted.
