By ANDREW E. KRAMERNOV. 25, 2011
BAGHDAD — The American military command in Iraq usually declines to acknowledge insurgent rocket strikes on its bases, not wanting the enemy attackers to know whether they have hit something. But the Americans made an exception on Friday.In a statement about the risks to civilians of insurgent rocket and mortar fire near American bases — a message that was intended for an Iraqi audience and distributed to the local news media in Arabic — the command disclosed that Katyusha rockets fired at a base outside Babil, south of Baghdad, three days earlier had wounded two American soldiers who are among the last several thousand in Iraq.The statement suggested such rocket attacks had been staged for propaganda purposes to create the impression that the Americans are fleeing under fire after more than eight years of war.“Terrorists groups are conducting attacks against American forces in order to create a false idea that they have forced us to leave,” the statement said.
Katyusha rockets are low-technology weapons whose accuracy is imprecise. They have not proved effective against the Americans in Iraq, but that does not mean that the United States forces still in the country do not take them seriously. Continue reading the main story
The military’s statement said two Katyushas were fired Tuesday, with one of them striking the Kalsu Base. American troops discovered that several other rockets had failed to launch.The public relations office of the American military command in Baghdad did not respond to a query about the attack.As it withdraws, the American military is moving its forces deployed in the north into bases farther south, toward the Kuwaiti border.
Correction: December 1, 2011 An article on Saturday about a rocket attack by insurgents in Iraq on an American military base south of Baghdad misspelled the name of the base. It is Kalsu, not Kalso. Omar al-Jawoshy contributed reporting.

WALL STREET RALLY MAY BE PREMATURE - The Washington Post
WALL STREET RALLY MAY BE PREMATURE
By John Crudele By John Crudele January 20, 1991
Wall Street was overjoyed last week by the success of the military action against Iraq. But the stock market is sometimes too quick to applaud the short-term positive effects of military action and myopic when it comes to the negatives.
The stock market customarily rallies smartly once it perceives that the "good guys" are winning a war. That happened during both world wars.
But stocks also staged a "victory rally" during the Vietnam War, which, of course, turned out to be inappropriate.
That rally began in June 1965, after American soldiers were killed in a bombing in Vietnam. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed nearly 20 percent in the next six months as the financial market decided that America would now have the determination to win that war. That assessment was wrong, and stocks gave up all those gains -- plus about 5 percent -- in 1966.
President Bush has vowed that the war in the Persian Gulf won't turn into another Vietnam. But in the weeks ahead, investors may be asking themselves whether now -- like in 1965 -- they made their judgments about the effects of the gulf war too hastily.
A lot, of course, will depend on whether the "good guys" continue their success against Iraq. Any setback, no matter how slight, could rile the financial markets in this country.
In addition, the reaction of the financial markets in the weeks ahead could turn on what the war does to the U.S. economy.
Yale Hirsch, a stock market historian who writes the Stock Traders Almanac, says that in 1966 the reality of the war -- i.e., the costs -- started to set in. And he blames that for the market's abrupt turnaround in 1966.
What do you do with your money if you are the type of person who is willing to take a long view of investing and ride out the present discomfort for gains a few years from now?
Gary L. Klott, author of the new book "The Complete Financial Guide to the 1990s" (Times Books-Random House), has given some thought to investing for the entire decade.
"The first thing investors should do when planning a long-term strategy for the 1990s," Klott said, "is to forget all they learned from the 1980s about which investments seemed the most promising and which industries offered the best growth prospects.
"The 1990s will require an entirely new perspective because the decade ahead promises to be far different from the one that just passed. Sweeping demographic, economic, technological and global trends are altering the long-term outlook for virtually every industry and the relative merits of individual investments.
"The halcyon days of sure and quick profits in real estate are over because of souring demographics for housing and overbuilding of commercial properties.
"The end of the Cold War means the 1980s' party is also over for the defense industry, despite the current Iraqi crisis.
"All the industries that prospered from the fast-growing young adult population in the 1970s and 1980s will see a reversal of fortunes in the 1990s, as the huge baby boom generation moves into middle age and adopts much different lifestyles and spending patterns. Instead of crowding discos and splurging on yuppie toys, the baby boomers are now staying home, raising families and splurging on children's toys, bifocals and minivans.
"In the footsteps of the baby boomers is a much smaller group of young adults, which portends slowing demand for new housing, new appliances, new cars and a variety of other consumer goods and services.
"Meanwhile, a swelling elderly population should create growing demand for health-care services, retirement housing, nursing homes, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products. And the growing child population should lead to increased demand for toys, school supplies, musical instruments, children's books and youth apparel.
"New environmental regulations promise to make pollution control and waste management major growth industries in the 1990s. And the nation's deteriorating infrastructure will sooner or later lead to sharply higher spending on public works projects.
"With inflation forecast by most economists to remain moderate through the 1990s, collectibles, precious metals and other 'tangible' assets that thrive on high inflation will lack an important prop."
Nobody ever lost money by correctly guessing a teenage fad. And a newsletter called the Zandl Slant thinks it knows what America's teens will be into this year.
Editor Irma Zandl said kids today are into black clothing, although other dark colors like blue and green are also the rage. Some girls in a survey Zandl conducted opted for purple and pastel colors, but the guys were more partial to red.
The newsletter also is predicting that short skirts and tight clothing will be the choice of 16-year-old girls, while boys will like baggy pants and tattoos.

Like reuniting with your high school sweetheart and realizing she's been the one all along., March 7, 2013
I've played through all the TR games yet none of them held up to the first two that were released in 1996 and 1998. Every sequel that Core Design put out since then was a steady decline towards irrelevance. There were flashes of brilliance here and there - young Lara lost in an island in TR: Chronicles was one such moment. But nothing really felt right. Crystal Dynamics went down the right path when they launched Legends in 2006 and Underworld was another step in the right direction. I'm glad Crystal realized that they needed to sit back and rethink the whole franchise to make Lara and more importantly, that particular brand of gameplay she became famous for, relevant again. Tomb Raider… Read more
A Landmark Title, November 17, 2011
Bethesda Game Studios' latest numbered entry into the Elder Scrolls series is an epic in the truest sense of the word. The game is not perfect on the PC, but the good eclipses the bad. It's hard to label 40 hours spent on a game as `first impressions,' yet that is exactly how you should treat this review.STORYSet 200 years after the events of the fourth game, Skyrim shifts the focus to the north. The main quest-line revolves around civil war and something about giant flying lizards. You are thrust into the role of the `dragon born' who is somehow destined to take down the dragon Alduin, the `devourer of worlds' who has returned to reset the clock on the continent of… Read more
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - PC by Square Enix
Mind-numbingly good, August 25, 2011
Deus-Ex Human Revolution is a brilliant game. While it borrows minor elements from recent titles such as the metal gear series, there is nothing here that feels like it is an outright rip-off; the biggest influences are from the original game. DE:HR sticks to time-tested role-playing and story-telling mechanics but delivers an experience that feels fresh. As a result, the game feels unique among the increasingly competitive single player role-playing landscape.STORY AND SETTINGI've spent about 29 hours with the game, and yet I honestly don't think I'm near the end. I'm probably through the half-way point and it feels like there is a third or a quarter left to go. Through… Read more

'I have little doubt your daughter should leave' – our work expert responds
Our careers expert – and you the readers – help a parent whose daughter’s health is being affected by her job and a 72-year-old who wants to keep on working
A reader’s daughter is struggling to cope with work-related stress. Photograph: Paul Bradbury/Getty Images/Caiaimage
Saturday 3 June 2017 02.00 EDT Last modified on Saturday 3 June 2017 02.02 EDT
Work stress is making my daughter ill and she does not know who to turn to
My daughter works for a private company in the care industry. She is a compliance manager for vulnerable people who live in their own homes with tailored support. She started with the company about five years ago and rose from being a carer to a manager.
However, I am worried about her as she is being physically sick, related to stress, and does not know who to turn to. This is because she was given a phone by her supervisor who did not delete previous text messages. The messages are derogatory about other members of staff including my daughter.
I understand that none of the comments are homophobic, racist, sexist or ageist, but it has left her in a difficult position.
I am sure you can appreciate the turmoil as she feels undervalued and unsupported while providing a tailored service to people with different needs. This is not good working practice and I am worried as the stress is affecting her health.
When it comes to their jobs, I feel people fall into one of two extreme categories. There are those who are endlessly critical and forever complaining, and who talk about resigning at the first hint of an often imaginary slight. And then there are those who believe that to choose to leave a job, whatever the circumstances, is evidence of failure on their part. From what you tell me, I suspect your daughter may be in the second category.
The company she works for is no longer the company she joined. A new CEO has been appointed, the director who was presumably responsible for your daughter’s promotion wants to step back and the place is clearly riddled with gossip and uncertainty. The derogatory messages on her phone are just one example of what is surely a wider malaise. And even if the plan to get rid of existing managers and bring in replacements from the new CEO’s previous company is not so much a plan as another rumour, the atmosphere in the place must be pretty poisonous.
I imagine your daughter is acutely aware of the vulnerable people in her care and the sense of responsibility she feels towards them. This must make any thought she might have of leaving the company seem even more of a surrender. But you can help her understand that the responsibility for those people lies with the company; that if she continues to put her health at risk she will be of limited value to them anyway; and that perhaps a principled act of resignation, with written, factual reasons reported directly to the board, could be the most positive action she could take on their behalf.
I have little doubt she should leave, but she should do so with her head held high. The care industry, more than ever, needs people like her. There are better places for her to make a contribution.
• No job is worth this – give notice and rely on skills to find a better employer. The care industry has a deservedly bad reputation and inevitable rapid turnover of staff. All the best. PatriciaPJ
• If she has had five years’ experience she should be in good position to look for another job. Perhaps leaving quietly with a good reference is more productive than causing a scene at her current workplace. While this may not feel like the right thing to do, she needs to look after herself first. Lspencer
• She could negotiate a no-fault settlement for breach of fidelity and trust by the employer with the help of a solicitor. If it is making her ill, she should also get signed off by her GP. Your daughter may feel under the spotlight, but it is the employer who needs the spotlight. fworcs
I’m 72 and want to keep working, but my age is putting off likely employers
I am 72 and an internationally recognised expert in my field. I am approached regularly by headhunters and also apply for suitable vacancies. Both these approaches lead to initial strong interest but eventually nothing comes of it. On asking for feedback it would appear that the likely reason for my failure is simply my age.
This is dispiriting and unfair in an area where my skills are much sought after, and I feel no different physically or in my brainpower.
I am sure that as we are all having to or, as with myself, wanting to work longer, ageism is likely to rear its head more and more. Or perhaps it is simply something we just worry about and fear as we get older, which could put many off even applying for a job or being forced into casual work where they can lie about their age.
So how do you handle it when you do your job as well as you ever did but you fear the lines on your face give away your age?
As is so often the case, you might find it helpful to put yourself in the place of a potential employer. You find yourself short of certain skills and set out to recruit someone to replace them. Of the five on your shortlist, three are in their thirties and forties, one is 55 and one is 72. You’re hoping that whoever you recruit will be with you for a considerable time. No one else in your company is over 65.
Assuming that at least three of the candidates seem equally qualified in terms of skills and personality, you need to narrow your choice and you can see why you would be inclined to eliminate the 72-year-old. It’s neither ageist nor unfair; it just makes sense.
I suspect you will stand a better chance of continuing to be paid for your expertise if you position yourself not as a full-time, salaried employee but as a specialist consultant preferring to work on a per diem basis.
From an employer’s point of view, this means they will be able to reap the benefit of your experience without having to fit you into an existing corporate structure.
• This looks like a situation where the gig economy could be used successfully.  Employers won’t want to give a long-term commitment to someone so old, but I bet they will jump at the chance to take advantage of your experience on a contract basis. So I’d become self-employed and use some of that international recognition. boston
• My mum is in her early seventies and still works. She is employed through a temp agency – it is a zero-hours contract technically, but she is placed with companies that need a 9-5 person to cover a set period of time (eg maternity cover). She is clerical so is possibly easier to place than a specialist role. But it may be worth checking whether there are any recruitment firms specialising in your field that could place you on a fixed-term or contract basis. Stroppimare

This invention relates to an electric circuit, which may be incorporated in a removable plug, for converting a signal proportional to the current in an electrical conductor to a voltage signal for use in operating the trip circuit of a circuit breaker which opens the circuit of the electrical conductor in response to an overcurrent condition. In particular, it is related to such a circuit which incorporates active electronic components powered by a signal proportional to current and which can be used to adjust the rating of the circuit breaker, to compensate for non-linearities in the transformer which generate the signal proportional to current and/or to test the circuit breaker. It can also provide an indication of an overcurrent condition prior to tripping of the breaker and an indication of sufficient current to perform the test.
In some types of circuit breakers, the operating point at which the breaker trips is set by a replaceable rating plug containing resistance which is inserted into a solid state trip circuit in the circuit breaker. The trip circuit in turn controls the tripping of the breaker. The secondary current from current transformers in the breaker flows through the rating plug and the voltage across the rating plug is therefor proportional to the product of the breaker current and the rating plug resistance. If the resistance in the rating plug is made greater, the required current to produce a given voltage across the rating plug is decreased and vice versa. Because the trip circuit "sees" the rating plug voltage as a measure of the breaker current, changing the rating plug resistance effectively changes the current rating of the breaker.
A problem often arises in such circuit breakers because, at very high currents, the current transformers supplying the rating plug saturate and become non-linear. The reason for this non-linearity is the small space available inside a circuit breaker to fit current transformers. This limit on available space forces the amount of copper and iron in the transformer to be minimized, resulting in saturation at high currents and therefore, the secondary current is less than proportional to the breaker current. The result is that at high currents, the rating plug voltage is less than proportional to the breaker current. This is an undesirable situation because a greater than normal current is required to trip the breaker. A means of compensating for current transformer non-linearity would be desirable.
Some rating plugs provide an adjustable rating for the circuit breaker. One type of such rating plugs contains a relatively high power rheostat in series with a fixed resistor so that the rating plug resistance can be continuously varied over a range of values. The problem with this type of adjustable rating plug is that the high power rheostats are large and potentially unreliable. An adjustable rating plug not requiring the use of a high power rheostat would be desirable.
Another type of adjustable rating plug utilizes a number of series connected resistors and a switch for selectively inserting a desired amount of resistance into the circuit. This arrangement eliminates the bulky potentiometer but stills dissipates a large amount of power and does not provide for continuous or fine adjustments of the rating setting. Thus it would be desirable to have a rating plug which would offer the continuous adjustment of the potentiometer but without the bulk and high power consumption.
The above discussed circuit breakers with solid state trip units have been tested by supplying the trip circuit with a relatively low current from an external test source. The output from the test source simulates an overcurrent condition in the breaker causing it to trip with the appropriate delay. The problem with using a separate test source is that since its output simulates an overload condition, it is also large enough to damage delicate solid state circuitry if it persists for a sufficient length of time. When a trip occurs due to an actual overcurrent flowing through the breaker, the current supplied to the solid state trip circuitry ceases when the breaker trips and, therefore, the trip circuit is automatically protected. In a simulated overcurrent condition, using an external test source, however, the current supplied to the solid state trip circuitry is not automatically interrupted when the breaker trips. If the external test source is accidentally left on for an extended time, damage can occur to the trip circuit.
Such a test unit powered by an external source is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,852,660 and 3,924,160. This test unit selectively generates a lower current test signal for verifying the delayed trip, and a high level current signal which tests the instantaneous trip feature. To avoid the prolonged application of the high level signal, a timer circuit disconnects the high level signal after a predetermined interval. However, this can produce a large pulse which can be a problem. There remains therefore a need for means for testing circuit breakers which does not require separate source and which would eliminate the possibility of trip unit damage.
In some circuit breakers in which the trip circuit is powered by the current flowing through the breaker, the breaker must be carrying at least about half rated power in order for the trip circuit to operate. There is a need therefore for an indication that sufficient current is flowing through such a breaker in order to perform a test.
It is also known to provide a means indicating that a circuit breaker is experiencing an overload. However, this feature adds cost to and complication to the trip unit and may not be required or needed by all users. A simple way to add this feature to the trip unit after it is manufactured or as an option feature would be desirable.
These and other needs are satisfied by the invention which is directed to an electric circuit for generating an adjustable sensing voltage signal for the trip circuit of a circuit breaker from the input current signal provided by the circuit breaker current transformers. The circuit includes an active variable impedance connected in series with a reference resistor between two terminals which serve as the input to the trip circuit. The active variable impedance is energized by the input current, and thus, no external source is required. Control means connected across the two terminals selectively control the impedance of the active variable impedance device to adjust the voltage across the two terminals produced by the input current. This voltage can be adjusted through various features of the invention to provide continuous adjustment of the rating of the circuit breaker over a selected range, to provide compensation for non-linearity in the current transformers which generate the input current, and to test the circuit breaker without disconnecting it.
Preferably, the active variable impedance comprises a high gain transistor amplifier, such as a Darlington transistor, controlled by an operational amplifier. The control means includes a pair of diodes in series with a reference voltage selection circuit across the two terminals. The forward drop across the two diodes is comparable to the drop across the Darlington transistor when fully turned on. The reference voltage selection means applies a reference voltage to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier controlling the high gain amplifier. A feedback connection applies the voltage between the Darlington transistor and the reference resistor to the inverting input of the operational amplifier so that the output of the amplifier, and therefore the variable impedance in series with the reference resistor, varies with the reference voltage selected.
A potentiometer, preferably with protection for failure of the potentiometer in the open condition, may be used to adjust the reference voltage, thereby providing continuous adjustment of the circuit breaker rating over a wide range.
As another feature of the invention, one or more zener diodes can be used with a voltage divider to provide a voltage versus input current characteristic which compensates for non-linearities caused by saturation of the current transformers generating the references current.
In a preferred form of the invention, these two features, continuous adjustment of the circuit breaker rating and compensation for non-linearities of the current transformers, are combined.
Another feature of the invention includes a test switch which when actuated inserts a zener diode and resistor into the reference voltage selection circuit to substantially lower the reference voltage thereby turning down the output of the high gain amplifier and substantially raising the voltage across the terminals to simulate a fault current for testing the circuit breaker. Since the trip circuit is powered by the input current which must be about half the rated current of the breaker to operate the trip mechanism, an indicator device, such as an LED, powered by another operational amplifier which compares the voltage across the reference resistor to a reference voltage generated from the forward drop across the diodes, can be provided with the test feature.
In addition, an indicator such as another LED or another type of alarm can be provided to indicate an overcurrent condition.

FIG. 1 discloses a circuit diagram, partly schematic and partly in block diagram form, of a circuit breaker 1 which includes a trip mechanism 3 having at least one pair of separable main contacts which are adapted to open and close to protect an electrical conductor. Conductors 5, 7 and 9 are examples of such a conductor. The trip mechanism 3 includes opening means operable to actuate the contacts to the open position. The opening means includes a trip coil 11 having a movable plunger attached to a linkage 13 which is connected to and moves the separable main contacts 15, 17 and 19 on the lines 5, 7 and 9 respectively. These lines may be connected at terminals 21 and 23 to the electrical conductors of a three-phase electrical system in which are flowing currents I1, I2 and I3 respectively.
Interconnected with the trip coil 11 is a trip circuit, generally designated 25 in FIG. 1. Any trip circuit may be used provided it can actuate the trip coil 11, and may be energized by means which will be described. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the trip circuit 25 is a known solid state trip circuit which may include an instantaneous trip and a delayed trip feature.
The currents in lines 5, 7 and 9 are monitored by current monitors such as the current transformers 27, 29 and 31, respectively. The outputs of the current transformers 27, 29 and 31 are applied to fullwave bridge rectifiers 33, 35 and 37 respectively. The outputs of the fullwave bridge circuits 33, 35 and 37 are connected in series to a pair of terminals 39 and 41. The bridge circuits 33, 35 and 37 provide an input current Ip which is representative of the largest of the three currents flowing in the lines 5, 7 and 9 as is known in the art.
Terminals 39 and 41 are connected to the inputs to the trip circuit 25 and to the inputs of an electric circuit 43 which is the subject of this invention. In the exemplary embodiment of the invention, the electrical circuit 43 is in the form of a rating plug which, as will be discussed more thoroughly below, may be removably inserted into the housing of a circuit breaker. The circuit 43 converts the current produced by the rectifier bridge circuit into an adjustable voltage which is seen by the trip circuit 25 as representative of the current flowing in the electric system. As will be seen, circuit 43 is capable of adjusting the voltage produced by a given current delivered to the terminals 39 and 41 in order to vary the rating of the circuit breaker 1. Circuit 43 may also be used to compensate for non-linearities created by saturation of current transformers 27, 29 and 31 in the circuit breaker. It also provides a self-energized test circuit for the circuit breaker and can provide indications of sufficient power available to perform the test and indications of overload current.
FIG. 2 illustrates one embodiment of the invention which compensates for saturation of the current transformers in the circuit breaker. The circuit 43a includes a reference resistor R1 connected to the first terminal 39 and an active variable impedance means 45 connected to the second terminal 41. In the exemplary embodiment of the invention, the active variable impedance means includes a high gain transistor amplifier, such as the Darlington transistor Q1 which is connected through series connection 47 with the reference resistor R1 between the terminals 39 and 41. The active variable impedance means 45 also includes an operational amplifier 49. The operational amplifier 49 is of a type which can operate from a single ended power supply such as, for example, an LM 158, 258 or 358. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the operational amplifier 49 is powered through leads 51 and 53 connected to the terminals 39 and 41. Thus, the operational amplifier is powered by circuit breaker current and no additional source is required. The active variable impedance means is controlled by a control circuit 55. The control circuit includes a pair of diodes D1 and D2, and reference voltage selection means 57 in the form of a voltage divider 59 comprising resistors R2 and R3, and a zener diode ZD1 all connected in series between the terminals 39 and 41. A lead 61 connects the tap point 63 of the voltage divider 59 to the inverting input of the operational amplifier 49. A lead 65 applies the voltage at the series connection 47 between Q1 and R1 to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier 49. The output of the operational amplifier 49 drives the Darlington transistor Q1 through bias resistor R4.
The operation of the circuit 43a of FIG. 2 is as follows. The output of the operational amplifier 49 is regulated to adjust the gain of the transistor amplifier Q1 to make the voltage at the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier equal to the voltage at its inverting input. Thus, the voltage at the series connection 47 is made equal to the voltage at the tap point 63 of the voltage divider 59. If the current Ip is low, the zener diode ZD1 does not conduct. Due to the high input impedance of the operational amplifier 49, there is very little current through the resistor R2, and thus the voltage applied to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier 49 is essentially equal to the forward drop Vd across the diodes D1 and D2. The voltage Vp generated by the circuit 43a across the terminals 39, 41 is equal to the voltage drop across the reference resistor R1 and the drop created by the variable impedance of the transistor Q1 and may be expressed as follows:
V.sub.p =I.sub.p ×R.sub.1 +V.sub.d                   (Eq. 1)
Except for the term Vd, the voltage Vp across the terminals 39 and 41 is exactly the same as with the common fixed resistor rating plug. Fixed voltage Vd can easily be compensated for in the trip circuitry 25.
If the current through the circuit 43a is increased, a value of current, I1, is reached where:
I.sub.p ×R.sub.1 =I.sub.1 R.sub.1 =V.sub.z           (Eq. 2)
Where Vz is the breakover voltage of the zener diode ZD1. If the current through the circuit 43a is increased further to a still higher value, I2, then current begins to flow through the zener diode ZD1 resulting in a voltage drop in the voltage divider 59 made up of resistors R2 and R3. Under these conditions, where Ip is equal to I2 : ##EQU1## The first term of equation 3 is the voltage drop across the reference resistor R1, the second term is the voltage drop across the resistor R2 and the third term is the drop across the diodes D1 and D2.
The result is that the voltage across the terminals 39, 41 increases at a greater rate than the input current Ip, as shown in FIG. 3. As will be noted by the trace 67 in FIG. 3, Vp increases linearly from Vd to Vd plus the zener voltage Vz. For input currents above I1, the voltage Vp increases linearly at a greater rate. Without the zener diode ZD1, the voltage across the terminals 39, 41, would continue to increase linearly as shown by the dotted line extension 67'.
The advantage of the circuit of FIG. 2 is that by proper choice of the values of Vz, R2 and R3 the voltage across terminals 39, 41 can be made to compensate for current transformer non-linearity. This occurs because, while at high currents the ratio of current transformer output to primary current falls off, the ratio of the voltage across terminals 39, 41 to the input current, Ip, increases at an offsetting rate.
As an additional improvement to the circuit of FIG. 2, compensation can be provided for changes in ambient temperature. The current transformer non-linearity is caused primarily by the increase with temperature in the resistance of the copper wire in the secondary winding. By making resistor R2 from copper wire, or another temperature sensitive material, the Vp versus Ip curve for the circuit of FIG. 2 can be made to compensate for the change in transformer non-linearity with temperature.
Further refinements to this concept are possible by adding two or more break points to the Vp versus Ip characteristic. A typical curve 69 is shown in FIG. 4 and circuit 43b suitable for implementing this feature of the invention is shown in FIG. 5. In FIG. 5, components identical to those in FIG. 2 are identified by the same reference character. An additional resistor, R5, in series with zener diode ZD1, and an additional zener diode ZD2 are added to the reference voltage selection circuit 57'. With this arrangement, the Vp versus Ip trace 69' breaks upward at I1 when ZD1 begins to conduct. The slope of the trace 69' is altered by the resistor R5 which is in series with R2 and R3. Above I2 when the breakover voltage of zener ZD2 is reached across the resistor R5 and ZD1, ZD2 conducts increasing the slope of the trace 69" as shown. It can be appreciated that additional zener diodes and resistors can be added to the circuit of FIG. 5 to approximate other non-linear Vp versus Ip characteristics.
FIG. 6 illustrates another embodiment of the invention. Again components in the circuit 43c which are the same as in FIGS. 2 and 5 are given like reference characters. In this embodiment, the reference voltage generator 57 of the control circuit 55 comprises a potentiometer 71 having a wiper 73 which divides the resistive element into resistances R6 and R7. A resistor R8 is connected in series with the potentiometer between the diodes D1 and D2 and the first terminal 39. Fixed resistors R9 and R10 shunt the variable resistances R6 and R7 of the potentiometer 71. These fixed resistors serve dual purposes. First, they increase reliability because they enable the circuit 43c to continue to function even though the potentiometer 71 should fail open. Second, by proper choice of the values of R8, R9 and R10, the circuit 43c rated current value versus angle of mechanical rotation of the wiper 73 can be made more linear than it would be without them. This is desirable for making accurate settings of rated current.
For simplifying analysis of the circuit 43c of FIG. 6, the resistances R6 and R9 can be combined and called Rx. Similarly, the resistance R7, R8 and R10 can be lumped into the quantity Ry. Thus, in the circuit of FIG. 6, Vp is related to Ip by: ##EQU2## The values of Rx and Ry are determined by the setting small, low power potentiometer 71, and in effect, act as a multiplier for resistor R1. The result is a continuously adjustable rating circuit 43c which does not require the use of a large, high power rheostat. The effect of the fixed voltage Vd is exactly the same as in the previously described circuits.
The two concepts of the circuits of FIGS. 2 and 5 and of the circuit of FIG. 6 can be combined into one preferred embodiment as shown in FIG. 7. In this circuit 43d, a second operational amplifier 75 acts as a buffer to prevent loading of the potentiometer 71. Typically, the two operational amplifiers 49 and 75 can be part of the same integrated circuit. The purpose of zener diode ZD3 and resistor R11 is to limit the operational amplifier supply voltage to a safe value in case of high input currents. Alternatively, these components can be replaced by external means to limit either the current through or the voltage across the rating circuit. Although not shown for clarity, the zener diode ZD3 and resistor R11 also limit the supply voltage to operational amplifier 75.
A simple means of indicating that the circuit breaker 1 is experiencing an overload condition is provided in the embodiment of the invention disclosed in FIG. 8. This circuit 43e includes a light emitting diode LED1 which is controlled by an additional operational amplifier 77 through resistor R12. Again, the operational amplifiers 49 and 77 can be combined in a single integrated circuit with their supply voltages limited by zener diode ZD3 and resistor R11. The non-inverting input of the operational amplifier 77 is connected by a lead 79 to the junction between the diode D2 and resistor R2. The inverting input of the operational amplifier 77 is connected by a lead 81 to a voltage divider 83 comprising resistors R13 and R14 connected across the terminals 39, 41.
In the circuit 43e of FIG. 8, Q1, R1 to R4, ZD1. D1, D2, operational amplifier 49, ZD3, and R11 perform the basic rating function with compensation for current transformer non-linearities described in connection with circuit 43a of FIG. 2. R12 to R14, operational amplifier 77 and LED1 perform the overload indication function. The indicating portion of circuit 43e works as follows. The voltage, V.sub.(+), at the non-inverting input of operational amplifier 77 is:
V.sub.(+) =V.sub.p -V.sub.d                                (Eq. 5)
The voltage, V.sub.(-), at the inverting input to operational amplifier 77 is: ##EQU3## The voltage Vp across the terminals 39, 41, is related to the current Ip through the circuit 43e as shown in FIG. 9. Also shown in FIG. 9 are the voltages V.sub.(+) and V.sub.(-) versus Ip. At low values of Ip, V.sub.(+) is less than V.sub.(-), the output of operational amplifier 77 is low and the light emitting diode, LED1, is off. At higher values of Ip, V.sub.(+) is greater than V.sub.(-), the output of operational amplifier 77 is high, and LED1 is on indicating the presence of an overload. By the proper choice of R13 and R14, the V.sub.(+) line can be made to cross the V.sub.(-) line exactly at the current Ip at which an overload commences. In other words, LED1 can be made to turn on for all values of breaker current greater than rated current. This occurs when: ##EQU4## Although the use of a light emitting diode is the preferred method of indicting an alarm, other devices could be used to perform the same function. For example, other types of lights, acoustical indicators, or mechanical types of indicators could be used in place of LED1. The overload indication is useful in cases of moderate overloads where there is a long delay, for instance 15 to 20 seconds or more, before the breaker trips. The overload indication gives an operator the option of taking action which may prevent the breaker from tripping.
Another modification of the invention is shown in FIG. 10. This version of the rating circuit 43 provides a self-test function for the breaker. This circuit 43f includes in addition to the potentiometer 71 for adjustably setting the current rating of the breaker, a resistor R15 connected in the lead 69 between the wiper 73 on the potentiometer and inverting input of the operational amplifier 49. It also includes a zener diode ZD4 and series resistor R16 shunting the potentiometer 75 and resistor R8 in series with the potentiometer. A test switch 85 selectively connects the connection between the zener diode ZD4 and resistor R16 to the inverting input of the operational amplifier 49.
Under normal conditions, the test switch 85 is not depressed, and the circuit of FIG. 10 operates in a manner similar to that of the circuit of FIG. 6. That is, adjustment of the position of the wiper 73 of the potentiometer 71, adjusts the current rating of the breaker. The voltage Vp is determined from equation 4 except that Rx and Ry do not include R9 and R10. Typically Vd is approximately 1.5 volts and R1 ×Ip ×the potentiometer multiplier is approximately two volts at rated breaker current. Under normal conditions, that is no overload, the breaker current is less than or equal to rated current and Vp is therefore between 1.5 and 3.5 volts. If the test switch 85 is depressed, the voltage at the inverting end of the operational amplifier 49 is decreased to a low value because of the R15, R16 voltage divider where R15 is much greater than R16. Since the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier 49 now has a greater voltage than the inverting input, the output of the operational amplifier 49 increases cutting off the Darlington transistor Q1. Some of the current Ip that was previously flowing through the Darlington transistor Q1 now flows through ZD4 and R16 so that the non-inverting and inverting pins of the operational amplifier 49 again have equal voltages. At this point;
V.sub.p =I.sub.p ×R.sub.1 +V.sub.d +VZD4             (Eq. 8)
By proper choice of the breakover voltage of ZD4, Vp can be made equal to 13.5 to 15.5 volts with the test switch 85 depressed, which is a voltage equivalent to six to seven times rated breaker current. Under those conditions, the solid state trip circuit "sees" a six to seven times overload and causes a trip either with a long delay, with a short delay, or instantaneously. Note that, although the trip circuit "sees" an apparent six or seven times overload, the actual current flowing in the rating circuit 43f and solid state trip circuit during the test is an equivalent to less than full load current. This level of current does not have the potential to cause circuit damage. Also, since the rating circuit 43f is powered by current from the protected line, the test is automatically terminated when the breaker trips. Both of these factors prevent any possible trip circuit damage during testing.
It should be noted that the numerical values given in the above example are for the purposes of illustration only.
A limitation on the use of this test feature of the invention occurs on circuit breakers whose solid state trip units are powered solely by the current flowing through the breaker. For an actual trip test to be possible in such breakers, the breaker must be carrying sufficient load current, typically more than half of the frame rating, to be able to cause the shunt trip to operate.
Accordingly, FIG. 11 illustrates a preferred form of this embodiment of the invention which includes an LED in the circuit 43g which turns on whenever a preset value of current is flowing through a circuit breaker. This LED is used to indicate when it is possible to perform a test.
The indicator means in FIG. 11 includes light emitting diode LED 2 connected in series with a resistor R17 across the terminals 39, 41. An electronic switch in the form of transistor Q2 shunting LED 2 turns the light emitting diode on when the transistor Q2 is off and turns LED 2 off when the transistor Q2 is turned on. Transistor Q2 is controlled by a current detecting circuit which includes an operational amplifier 87 controlling transistor Q2 through base resistor R18. The operational amplifier 87 compares the voltage across the reference resistor R1 which is proportional to the current Ip, applied to its inverting input, with a constant voltage representing the current Ip necessary to perform the test applied to its non-inverting input. This constant voltage is generated across a resistor R19 by the collector current of a transistor Q3 connected as an emitter follower across the diodes D1 and D2. Since the voltage drop across the diodes is constant, Q3 supplies a constant current to the resistor R19. A resistor R20 in series with the emitter of transistor Q3 provides the proper bias for that transistor.
A typical test sequence using this embodiment of the invention would be as follows. Assume that the breaker has only one adjustment, for short delay pickup. First a check would be made that the breaker was carrying at least half of the rated frame current. This would be indicated by illumination of LED2. The existing setting of the short delay adjustment would then be noted. Next this adjustment would be set maximum. Typically eight to ten times rated breaker current. Then the test switch would be depressed and the breaker should trip on long delay and typically in five to fifteen seconds. Then the breaker would be reset and the short delay adjustment set at the minimum. Again, the test button would be depressed and the breaker should trip in a fraction of a second. The short delay adjustment would then be returned to its original setting, the breaker reset and normal operations allowed to continue.
The circuit of the invention may conveniently be incorporated in a removable rating plug which may easily be inserted into and withdrawn from a circuit breaker. FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrated this application of the invention. In FIG. 12, the circuit breaker 89 is, for example, of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,826,951. The circuit breaker is controlled manually by a handle 91 which protrudes through an opening in the front cover of the breaker. The breaker 89 also includes a removable insert 93 containing the electronics for the trip circuit of the breaker. This insert 93 includes a push button 95 by which the breaker can be manually tripped and a rheostat 97 through which the short delay of.the breaker may be adjusted in a known manner.
The insert 93 also includes a removable rating plug 99 containing a desired form of the circuit of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 13, the operating knob 101 of the potentiometer 71 for adjusting the rated current of the breaker protrudes through the front face of the rating plug 99. The test switch 85 is also mounted in the rating plug for access from the front of the breaker, as is the overload indicating LED1. Alternatively, or in addition, the test light, LED2, may be presented in the rating plug 99. Preferably, the rating plug is provided with an interlock as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,826,951 so that the breaker will not close without a rating plug in place. The rating plug 99 can be easily replaced to provide different combinations of the features made available by the invention.
It should be understood that other variations of basic circuitry illustrated are possible. By way of example, Darlington transistor Q1 can be replaced by a single transistor with high gain. Also operational amplifiers requiring dual voltage supply can be used if a separate negative voltage supply is provided.
It can appreciated from the above discussion and the drawings that the invention provides a simple means for compensating for non-linearities in the current transformers of circuit breakers. It also provides a means of continuously adjusting the circuit breaker rating without the use of a large, high powered, unreliable rheostat. The invention also provides for making an overload indicator part of a replaceable rating circuit. This has two main advantages. The basic trip circuit does not have to include or be capable of including an overload indicator. For this reason, it can be made simpler and at a lower cost than if an overload trip indicator were included. In addition, since the indicating function is contained in the rating plug which is easily replaced, the overload indicator can be added to a circuit breaker just before it is shipped to a customer, or can even be added after the breaker is in service. The invention further provides an integral self-powered means for testing a circuit breaker which can include means for indicating when sufficient current is available for testing a self-powered circuit breaker. Finally, any or all of the above features can be combined in a replaceable plug which can be installed in the circuit breaker.
