<p>¦ Overpressure protection for a vaporization cooled electrical inductive apparatus. A pressure responsive device is actuated by a predetermined pressure within a sealed housing and de-energizes a pump, thereby stopping the flow of dielectric fluid to the heat producing members which prevents further pressure increases within a tank due to continued vaporization of the dielectric fluid. In one embodiment, a discharge valve is actuated by the pressure responsive device to drain the dielectric fluid from the windings to prevent further pressure increases caused by continued vaporization of the dielectric fluid. A fusible link is provided to disconnect the windings of the electrical inductive apparatus from a source of electrical potential subsequent to the de-energization of the pump. In another embodiment, the pressure responsive device actuates the circuit breaker which disconnects the windings of the electrical inductive apparatus from the source of electrical potential.</p> |
