Controllers
The Type 4292 Yardmaster
Automatic Discharge Type
Lifting Magnet Controller
provides a fast and clean
release of mag-net loads
by applying full voltage
reverse current to the
magnet. The full voltage
re-verse current feature
permits the operator to
promptly return for another
lift.
A mechanically rugged
high thermal capacity
discharge
varistor
assembly is permanently
connected in parallel
with the magnet and
provides
a
safe dis-
charge path for the
stored magnetic energy.
With Yardmaster mag-
net controllers, induced
voltage cannot return
to the line, permitting
rectified power supplies
to be used without
the added expense of
special protective loads
or bypass circuits.
The drop contactor is
under the control of the
operator’s Master Switch
and the dis-charge sensor

Peak magnet induced voltage limited to

suited for many uses
from light scrap handling
to the handling of heavy
billets or plates. It may
be used with all types
and makes of DC lifting
magnets.
