Circuit Breaker Current Monitoring

US Patent:
49775138, Dec 11, 1990
Filed:
Oct 19, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/113341
Inventors:
Stephen G. LaPalme - Cape Porpoise ME
Assignee:
Power Solutions, Inc. - Kennebunk ME
International Classification:
H02H 726
US Classification:
364483
Abstract:
A circuit breaker monitoring system for monitoring three-phase circuit breakers includes three channels that convert a respective phase current through a respective set of circuit breaker contacts into a sequence of digital signals each representative of an instantaneous value of current through the contacts. Each channel includes a transformer having a primary winding that receives current corresponding to that through the breaker contacts. A resistor across the secondary winding develops a voltage proportional to the current. An input buffer voltage follower couples this voltage to the input of a high-speed 12-bit bipolar analog-to-digital converter that provides the digital signals. A microprocessor coupled to a 12K RAM working memory, a 4K EPROM that may store breaker monitor software and a 2K E. sup. 2 PROM that may store programmable operating parameters and digital signals representative of accumulated fault current, processes the digital signals to provide a digital RMS current signal representative of the RMS value of the current through breaker contacts immediately after opening each time a source of a nonmaskable CPU interrupt signal provides that signal in response to the occurrence of auxiliary breaker contacts changing state.
