ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic lock for doors includes a large electromagnet mounted on the door frame, and a strike plate or armature secured to the door. A double-throw, double-pole type of relay or other switching circuit serves to selectively connect the electromagnet to receive rectified current when it is energized, and to receive a reverse pulse from a large capacitor when the door circuitry is de-energized. The large capacitor is charged to the same voltage as the electromagnet to insure full reversal of the magnetic domains to prevent residual magnetism. The double-throw, double-pole switch may be actuated by a high speed relay to insure timely switching of the contacts to apply reverse current from the capacitor to the electromagnet. The relay coil may be a latching relay which is selectively actuated in one direction while the circuit is energized, and is reversed as the electromagnet is discharged, so that it draws no current except when it is being switched on. A diode is provided to prevent oscillation of the circuit including the electromagnet and the large capacitor, as well as to block inductive kickback.
