Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
IN A SYSTEM HAVING A PLURALITY OF INTERCONNECTED RECTIFIER ELEMENTS FOR EXCHANGING ENERGY BETWEEN AN A.-C. SYSTEM AND A D.-C. SYSTEM; A COUNTING CIRCUIT FOR COUNTING THE NUMBER OF RECTIFIER ELEMENTS THAT FAIL; SAID COUNTING CIRCUIT COMPRISING FIRST MEANS FOR GENERATING A VOLTAGE PULSE RESPONSIVE TO FAILURE OF ANY OF SAID RECTIFIER ELEMENTS, A PULSE TYPE RELAY, AND A STEPPING RELAY AND AN INDICATING MEANS; SAID FIRST MEANS BEING OPERATIVELY CONNECTED TO OPERATE SAID PULSE TYPE RELAY RESPONSIVE TO THE GENERATION OF A VOLTAGE PULSE; SAID PULSE TYPE RELAY BEING OPERATIVELY CONNECTED TO SAID STEPPING RELAY TO ADVANCE SAID STEPPING RELAY ONE POSITION FOR EACH OPERATION OF SAID PULSE TYPE RELAY, SAID STEPPING RELAY BEING OPERATIVELY CONNECTED TO SAID INDICATING MEANS TO PRESENT A COUNT OF THE NUMBER OF PULSES GENERATED BY SAID VOLTAGE GENERATING MEANS.
