Compe nsator Construction
Cylin ' d er Unit
The device which acts to initiate blocking is a
four-pole
cylinder unit which is connected open
delta and operates as a three-phase induction motor.
Contact-closing torque is produced by the unit when
the voltage applied to its terminals has a positive­
phase sequence. Contact-opening torque is produced
when
negative-phase
sequence
plied. H ence, the cylinder unit has restraint or oper­
ating torque as determined by the phase sequence
of th e voltages applied to its terminals.
Mechanically, the cylinder unit is composed of
four basic components: a die-cast aluminum frame,
an electromagnet, a moving element assembly, and a
molded bridge.
The frame serves as the mounting structure for
the magnetic core. The magnetic core which houses
the lower pin bearing is secured to the frame by a
locking nut. The bearing can be replaced, if neces­
sary, without having to remove the magnetic core
from the frame.

moving element assembly consists of a
spiral spring, contact carrying member, and an alum­
imum cylinder assembled to a molded hub which
holds the shaft. The shaft has removable top and
botto m jewel bearings. The shaft rides between the
bottom pin bearing and the upper pin be ar ing which
is adjusted to . 025 inch from the top of the shaft
bearing. The cylinder rotates in the air gap formed
by the electromagnet and the magnetic core. The
stops for the moving element contact arm are an
integral part of the bridge.
The bridge is secured to the electromagnet and
frame by two mounting screws. In addition to hold­
ing the upper pin bearing, the bridge is used for
mounting the adjustable stationary contact housing.
