Electronic relay to protect motors and thyristors against symmetric overload, phase unbalance and shortcircuit.

摘要

It permits adjustment of the nominal triggering intensity of a relay (20) by means of an octuple microswitch (10), adjustment of the triggering time constant by means of a quadruple microswitch (29) and adjustment of the triggering intensity due to short-circuit by means of another quadruple microswitch (78.) It has safety and protection elements (7, 8, 31, 32, 65, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 83), a reset button (59) and a test button (61), lacking, with the exception of the feed source (62), transformers that raise the price and increase the size of these devices. In some coils or pickups (1, 2 and 3) that generate one-phase signals by means of a novel and advantageous pickup method, based on including ferromagnetic cores in the coils. The triggering of the relay (20) is determined by passsing to the logical state of any output of the operational amplifiers (23, 51, 52 and 53) in the presence of symmetric overloads or phase unbalances of said signals, or by passing to the logic state 1 in the cathode of diode (88) in the presence of short-circuits, whereby a thrystor (33) enters into conduction, depolarizing the base of a transistor (35) that produces the triggering of the relay (20.)
