Abstract: An electromechanical/solid-state AC relay has an electromechanical winding coil that moves an armature to force mechanical contacts to open or close. Electrical arcing across the mechanical contacts that occur as the contacts are opening or closing can damage and severely reduce the lifetime of the relay. Contact arcing is prevented by pulsing a triac on for a short period of time just before and after the mechanical contacts make or break contact. The triac limits the voltage difference across the mechanical contacts to less than one volt to prevent arcing. The triac is turned off after the mechanical contacts finish moving, reducing the heating and average power through the triac. A zero-sampling circuit that detects when the AC input voltage switches across 0 volts and activates a control integrated circuit to switch on the triac during zero-crossings to minimize power surges.

Abstract: A microprocessor controlled electrical contactor monitors the voltage and peak current produced by a first voltage pulse gated to the coil of the contactor electromagnet and adjusts the conduction angle of the second pulse to deliver a constant amount of electrical energy to the electromagnet coil despite variations in coil resistance and supply voltage so that the contactor contacts can be consistently closed with low impact velocity and minimum contact bounce. Normally, the third and subsequent pulses are gated to the coil at constant conduction angles selected so that the contacts consistently touch and seal on a preselected pulse with declining coil current. Under marginal conditions, determined by the peak current produced by the first pulse, the third and subsequent pulses are gated at substantially full conduction angles to assure contact closure. If the voltage or current produced by the first pulse is below a predetermined value, closure is aborted.

Abstract: An electromagnetic contactor or controller is taught in which the voltage which is impressed across the electromagnetic armature accelerating coil is compared by a microprocess against a menu of memory stored voltages with related delay angles. The delay angles are utilized to alter the conduction interval of a triac or similar gated device which is connected in series circuit relationship with the coil in question. During an ACCELERATION interval a number of consecutive full-wave rectified half-cycles of voltage pulses are phase angle or delay angle controlled so that the amount of energy provided to the moving armature of the contactor is approximately sufficient to cause the armature to abut a fixed magnetic member. Furthermore, there is provided a separate memory menu for mid-flight adjustment of the armature to compensate for unknown variations to fine tune the closing operation. This latter correction is known as COAST.

Abstract: An electromagnetic contactor is taught which includes a conduction angle controlled triac or similar gated device which is connected in series circuit relationship with the winding of an electromagnetic solenoid or coil which is responsible for closing the contactor contacts and for keeping them closed. The current flowing through the triac is fed to a microprocessor which digitizes the current and compares it to a stored standard. The conduction angle is then decremented or incremented as necessary to change the conduction angle to cause less or more current to flow per half cycle until the amount of current flowing as sensed on a half-cycle-by-half-cycle basis is equal to the current represented by the stored standard.

Abstract: An annular gap magnet system, in particular for a low frequency loudspeaker (Woofer), in which a coil is movable with a large stroke in the working air gap. A braking air gap provided in the region of the inner or lower pole plate produces a magnetic resistance in the pole plate so that a part of the magnetic flux flows over the braking air gap. This magnetic flux is opposed to the stray magnetic flux below the working air gap and excites a counter magnetic field which opposes further inward movement of the moving coil. In this way an impact of the moving coil against the inner or lower pole plate is prevented. In a low frequency loudspeaker the membrane carrying the moving coil may, therefore, be suspended extremely softly.
