.~ Nonresponsive or less responsive for limited periods
DEFINITION
Classification: 318/447
(under subclass 445) Subject matter in which means are provided for rendering the sensing mechanism entirely nonresponsive or incapacitated, or less responsive to the predetermined conditions for a particular and limited period of time which is less than the time required for an operating cycle of the motor.
(1) Note. For example, an overload cutout may be rendered inoperative during the starting period of a motor so that it will not trip during the particular and limited period that the motor is starting, but will be fully operative during the running period of the motor.
(2) Note. Where the sensing or control means is merely delayed or retarded (e.g., by means of a dash pot or other retarding means), so that the rate at which the sensing means
responds or the control means operates is reduced, classification is not herein, but in subclass 484 below.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
279, for means for rendering the overload sensing mechanism less responsive during the accelerating period of the motor.
