SYSTEM OF ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION.
SPECIFICATEON forming part of Letters Patent No. 378,432, dated February 28, 1888.
Application tiled September 8, 1887. Serial No. 249,078. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, THOMAS P. CONANT and Znon LATSHAW, citizens of the United States, and residents of Brooklymin the county of Kings, State of New York, and of McKeesport, in the county of Allegheny,State ofPennsylvania, respectively, have jointly invented certain new and useful Improvements in Systems of ElectricDistribution by Accumulators, IO of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to an arrangement of apparatus for adapting a dynamo-machine to supply a working-circuit containing translating devices with current of an electro-motive force and intensity differing in those respects from that which the dynamo is constructed to furnish, combined with an arrangement of circuits calculated to economize the amount of copper or conducting material required to carry the current.
lVc provide a series of secondary-battery cells, which we arrange in a series as great as the eleetro-motive force of the dynamo is capable of charging. From the battery theworkingcircuit is led by two main conductors and a compensating conductor, each adjnstably connected to points in the battery calculated to preserve a substantially uniform electro-motive force between each main conductor and the compensating conductor, so that the po tential between either main conductor and the compensating conductor may be preserved substantially uniform. By the use of a compensating conductor we may use currents in the working-circuit of a higher electro'motive force and conductors containing less metal than would be the case were the compensating wire not employed.
The accompanying drawing illustrates our 4c. invention.
A is a series of secondary-battery cells arranged in series and charged by the dynamo D, connected thereto by circuit 1. Any number of cells maybe so connected, provided that 5 the capacity of the dynamo to furnish the requisite eflective electro-motive force be not ex ceeded.
3 and 5 are main leads, and 2 is a compensating conductor. Between the main leads and the compensating conductor are con- 50 nected translating devices, as lamps L L.
s, s, and s are three pivoted switch-arms making contact with a series of fixed contactpoints connected at different points in the series of cells. To these switch-arms the con- 5 ductors 3 2 5 are respectively connected, and the said arms are so adjusted upon the fixed contacts that the electro-motive force between 2 and 5 and 2 and 3 will be as nearly equal as possible.
In case the number or capacity of the translating devices upon opposite sides of the compensating conductor becomes unequal, a current varying in amount according to the degree of inequality will pass through the compensating conductor, the direction of such current varying according to which side contains the greater capacity.
The arrangement shown may be amplified and extended by the addition of other com pensating conductors and other series of lamps.
We contemplate the application of the system here shown and described to supply current over extended areas as a central-station system of lighting towns and villages, and it is 5 in this connection that its utility and economy are most manifest.
What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination of a secondary battery, a working-circuit consisting of three conduct ors, and means for adj ustably connecting two or more of said conductors to different points in said battery,whereby the difference of potential between any two conductors may be regulated.
,2. The combination of a dynamo-electric machine in circuit with a secondary battery,
a working-circuit consisting of three conductors connected to different points in said 'bato tery, respectively, and a series of translating devices in two divisions, each division between a separate pair of conductors.
3. The combination of a series of cells of secondary battery electrically connected, a 9 5 working-circuit consisting of three or more conductors, a series of fixed contact-points connected to different points in the series of cells, and movable contacts for two or more of said conductors, each in position to make contact with two or more of said fixed contacts.
4. The combination of a dynamo-electric machine, a series of cells of secondary battery connected in circuit therewith, a working-circuit consisting of three conductors, translating devices divided in two series, each series located between a different pair of conductors, and aswitch for each of said conductors, whereby the point of connection between either of said conductors and the battery may be changed, varied, or altered.
