field circuit breaker
|
A device that functions to apply or remove the field excitation of a machine. |
|
42 |
running circuit breaker
|
A device whose function is to connect a machine to its source of running or operating voltage. This function may also be used for a device, such as a contactor, that is used in series with a circuit breaker or other fault-protecting means, primarily for frequent opening and closing of the circuit. |
|
43 |
manual transfer or selector device
|
A manually operated device that transfers control or potential circuits in order to modify the plan of operation of the associated equipment or of some of the associated devices. |
|
44 |
unit sequence starting relay
|
A device that functions to start the next available unit in multiple-unit equipment upon the failure or non-availability of the normally preceding unit. |
|
45 |
atmospheric condition monitor
|
A device that functions upon the occurrence of an abnormal atmospheric condition, such as damaging fumes, explosive mixtures, smoke, or fire. |
|
46 |
reverse-phase or phase-balance current relay
|
A device in a polyphase circuit that operates when the polyphase currents are of reverse-phase sequence or when the polyphase currents are unbalanced or when the negative phase-sequence current exceeds a preset value. |
|
47 |
phase-sequence or phase-balance voltage relay
|
A device in a polyphase circuit that functions upon a predetermined value of polyphase voltage in the desired phase sequence, when the polyphase voltages are unbalanced, or when the negative phase-sequence voltage exceeds a preset value. |
|
48 |
incomplete sequence relay
|
A device that generally returns the equipment to the normal or off position and locks it out if the normal starting, operating, or stopping sequence is not properly completed within a predetermined time. |
|
49 |
machine or transformer thermal relay
|
A device that functions when the temperature of a machine armature winding or other load-carrying winding or element of a machine or power transformer exceeds a predetermined value. |
|
50 |
instantaneous overcurrent relay
|
A device that operates with no intentional time delay when the current exceeds a preset value. |
|
51 |
ac time overcurrent relay
|
A device that functions when the ac input current exceeds a predetermined value, and in which the input current and operating time are inversely related through a substantial portion of the performance range. |
|
52 |
ac circuit breaker
|
A device that is used to close and interrupt an ac power circuit under normal conditions or to interrupt this circuit under fault or emergency conditions. |
|
53 |
exciter or dc generator relay
|
A device that forces the dc machine field excitation to build up during starting or that functions when the machine voltage has built up to a given value. |
|
54 |
turning gear engaging device
|
A device either electrically operated, controlled, or monitored that functions to cause the turning gear to engage or disengage the machine shaft. |
|
55 |
power factor relay
|
A device that operates when the power factor in an ac circuit rises above or falls below a predetermined value. |
|
56 |
field application relay
|
A device that automatically controls the application of the field excitation to an ac motor at some predetermined point in the slip cycle. |
|
57 |
short-circuiting or grounding device
|
A device that functions to short-circuit or ground a circuit in response to automatic or manual means. |
|
58 |
rectification failure relay
|
A device that functions if a power rectifier fails to conduct or block properly. |
|
59 |
overvoltage relay
|
A device that operates when its input voltage exceeds a predetermined value. |
|
60 |
voltage or current balance relay
|
A device that operates on a given difference in voltage, or current input or output, of two circuits. |
