The Standard Electrical Dictionary

  1. Circuit Breaker, Tuning Fork

    A circuit breaker in which a tuning fork makes and breaks the circuit. Each vibration of one of the prongs in one direction makes a contact, and the reverse vibration breaks a contact. The adjustment is necessarily delicate, owing to the limited amplitude of the motion of the fork. The fork is kept in vibration sometimes by an electro-magnet, which is excited as the circuit is closed by the fork. One leg of the fork acts as the armature of the magnet, and is attracted according to its own natural period.
