Accordingly, the live and neutral terminals 10, 11 are configured to receive a supply voltage of 240 volts and the output terminals 20, 21 are arranged to deliver a nominal supply voltage of 216 volts during normal operation of the lamps. However, at start up the nominal supply voltage is boosted to 240 volts to enable the flouxescent lamps to strike. During signalling, the nominal supply voltage of 216 volts is temporarily reduced to 204 volts for either five or 10 seconds in order to operate the switch and control circuits 16, 16' selectively.

  • the control circuit CC is so arranged that upon start of the lamps, switch Al is in the position shown in solid outline in Figure 2 so that a voltage approximating to mains voltage is produced at the terminals 20, 21 to enable switch on of the lamps. A short period thereafter e.g. 15 seconds, the control circuit CC switches Al to the dotted line position so as to disable operation of transformer T2 and thereby reduce the voltage supplied to the lamps by 24 volts i.e. approximately 10% of normal mains voltage.
  • This circuit operation is described in more detail in our aforementioned PCT Application. Also, a more detailed description of two embodiments of the control circuit CC are described in the PCT Application and the contents thereof are incorporated herein by reference. It has been found that by operating the lamps at the reduced voltage of 216 volts, no substantial loss in light output occurs but a substantial saving in power is achieved.
  • the remote switching according to the invention is achieved by means of a timer 17 which switches current from the mains supply through the coil of a relay TM having switching contacts TM1 so arranged to switch the primary winding of the second transformer T2 between an open and a closed circuit condition.

  • the control circuit 18 can be used to set the timer for a period appropriate for switching lamp circuit 15 or 15* i.e. 5 or 10 seconds.
  • the contactor CC operates contact Al to the position shown in dotted outline so as to apply the nominal supply voltage of 216 v to the output terminals 20, 21 and hence to the supply conductors 13, 14.
  • the contact TM1 is in the position shown in Figure 2, the terminals W4, W5 of the primary of transformer T2 are short circuited which results in the transformer T2 presenting a low impedance such that a negligable voltage drop occurs between the secondary winding tappings W6, W7.
  • the voltage produced at winding tapping W3 is substantially the same as that produced across terminals 20, 21.
  • the timer control circuit When it is desired to produce remote switching of lamp circuit 15 or 15', the timer control circuit is operated to operate timer 17 for a period of either 5 or 10 seconds. This produces energisation of relay coil TM for a commenserate period which opens relay contacts TM1 so as to produce an open circuit between terminal W4, W5 of the primary of transformer T2. As a result, the impedance presented by the transformer T2 increases such that a voltage drop of approximately 20 volts occurs between the winding terminals W6, W7 of its secondary. Consequently, the voltage developed across terminals 20, 21 drops to approximately 20 volts during the period of operation of timer 17. This voltage drop is used to operate switching circuits 16, 16' as will now be explained with reference to Figure 3 which shows the circuit 16 in more detail.

  • the voltage on the live terminal 19 is reduced below 204 volts for a period of five seconds.
  • the voltage sensor C is arranged to detect this condition by comparing the voltage at the live terminal 19 with a reference voltage V - which is conveniently earth.
  • voltage sensor C closes switch Cl, which provides a release signal to latching relay B and thereby causes contact Bl to change over into the position shown in Figure 3 so as to switch off the lights and reconnect transformer T3 thereby to charge the battery 23.
  • the transformer T3 has a high input impedance so that when the contactor Bl is in the position shown in Figure 3 insufficient current flows through the transformer to illuminate the light circuit 15.
  • the lights are off more than they are on and accordingly, the transformer T3 and rectifier 24 are connected to the battery 23 for sufficient time to maintain it fully charged, thereby ensuring reliable operation of the switching circuit.
  • the voltage sensor C is so arranged that in the event of a power failure, and the subsequent restoration of power, the relay B remains in the mode in which it was set immediately before the power failure. To this end, the voltage sensor C is arranged to operate switch Cl in response to an increase in voltage at the end of the signalling period i.e. five second. If the voltage restoration does not occur within this period, the voltage sensor assumes that the reduction in voltage is due to a power failure and is configured to maintain the relay B in the same mode upon restoration of the power at the end of the power failure.
  • the voltage sensor C is programmable to detect recovery of the voltage from below the reduced voltage e.g. 204 volts after five seconds, 10 second, 15 seconds etc. so that a corresponding circuit 16 can be used for control circuit 16' in Figure 1.

Similarly, if there is a short increase in the supply voltage, the voltage on the inverting input of IC2 will rise.

Abstract

Système de commande de distribution de puissance électrique capable, par l'intermédiaire d'une paire de transformateurs (T1, T2), d'alimenter un certain nombre de charges avec une tension réduite pendant le fonctionnement continu. Lorsqu'une nouvelle charge est appliquée au réseau de distribution électrique, le transformateur (T1) est reconfiguré par un relais (A1) de manière à augmenter la tension sur le réseau de distribution pour permettre l'allumage de lampes fluorescentes, etc. Ledit système de commande comporte aussi des dispositifs de signalisation comprenant une temporisation (17), un circuit de commande de la temporisation (18) et un autre relais (TM). La signalisation est effectuée grâce à une nouvelle réduction de la tension sur le réseau de distribution pour de courts laps de temps prédéterminés. Dans un autre mode d'exécution, la reconfiguration du transformateur (T2) est effectuée au moyen de quatre triacs (29, 30, 31, 32) reliés au sein d'un montage en pont.
