laminated electromagnet with an auto-transformer
winding on its center leg. Two identical coils on the
outer legs of the laminated structure are connected
to the secondary (tapped section) of the auto-trans
former winding in a manner so that the combination
of all fluxes produced by the electromagnet results
in out-of-phase fluxes in the air gap. The out-of
phase air gap fluxes cause a contact closing torque.

The sensitive fault detector circuit consists of
an auto-transformer and a contactor switch. The con
tactor switch is connected across the secondary
(tapped section) of the auto-transformer winding.
The contactor switch is a small solenoid t ype
element. A cylindrical plunger rides up and down on
a vertical guide rod in the center of the solenoid coil.
The guide rod is fastened to the stationary core,
which in turn screws into the unit frame. A silver
disc is fastened to the moving plunger through a heli
cal spring. When the coil is energized, the plunger
moves upward carrying the silver disc which bridges
three conical- shaped
stationary contacts. In this
position, the helical spring is compressed and the
plunger is free to move while the contact remain s
stationary. Thus, a-c vibrations of, the p lunger are
prevented from causing contact bouncing. A Micarta
disc is fastened to the bottom of the guide rod by

current of the element.
The auto-transformer is designed to saturate at
high values of current to limit the amount of curren t
to the contactor switch.
I n d i cat i n g C antactar S w i t c h Un i t (IC S )
The d-e indicating contactor switch i s a small
clapper type device. A magnetic armature, to which
leaf-spring mounted contacts are attached, is at
tracted to the magnetic core upon energization of the
switch. When the switch closes, the moving contacts
bridge two stationary contacts, completing the trip
circuit. Also during this operation two fingers on the
armature deflect a spring located on the front of the
switch, which allows the operation indicator target
to drop. The target is reset from the outside of the
case by a push rod located at the bottom of the cover .
The front spring, in addition to holding the target,
provides restraint for the armature and thus controls
the pick-up value of the switch.
