    摘要: An elevator includes an elevator motor, a motor drive for the elevator motor having a frequency converter including a rectifier bridge, an inverter bridge and a DC link in between, which frequency converter is controlled via a controller, the rectifier bridge being connected to AC mains via three feed lines including chokes, and the rectifier bridge being realised via controllable semiconductor switches, an isolation relay being located between the feed lines and AC mains, a backup power supply at least for emergency drive operation, an emergency control for performing an automatic emergency drive, the backup power supply is via a first switch connectable with only a first of the feed lines. A second and/or third of the feed lines is via a second switch connectable as power supply to a car door arrangement, the first switch as well as the second switch are controlled by the emergency control, and the emergency control is connected to a manual drive circuit having a manual drive switch for a manual rescue drive. The elevator includes a first feedback circuit configured to provide to the emergency control first information indicating the switching state of the isolation relay, a second feedback circuit which is configured to provide to the emergency control second information indicating switching state of the first switch. The emergency control is configured to selectively allow or prevent the emergency drive operation on the basis of the first information and the second information.

    摘要: An elevator rescue system allows an elevator car of an elevator to be moved in an emergency situation. The elevator includes an elevator motor acting on hoisting ropes by which the elevator car is suspended including at least one electro-mechanical brake and an encoder outputting a signal corresponding to its speed. The rescue system includes a back-up power source, a jerk monitoring circuit connected to the encoder and including a memory storing an upper threshold value for the derivative of car acceleration, a brake feed circuit controlled by the jerk monitoring circuit, and a release switch connected to the jerk monitoring circuit and/or to the brake feed circuit. The release switch activates the brake feed circuit to release the brake, and initiate the jerk monitoring circuit to compare the derivative of car acceleration derived from the encoder signal with the stored first upper threshold value, and forwards a control signal to the brake feed circuit to initiate/stop braking depending on the comparison result.

    摘要: The invention relates to an elevator comprising at least one elevator car moved by at least one elevator motor, which elevator motor is driven by a frequency converter controlled by a control device of the elevator, the frequency converter comprising a rectifier bridge, an inverter bridge and a DC link connected in-between, the inverter bridge being connected to the elevator motor and the rectifier bridge being connected to AC mains via three phase supply lines comprising an LCL-filter and a mains switch. The elevator further comprises a backup power supply and a safety device of the control device, which in case of a mains power failure is configured to switch off the mains switch and to connect the backup power supply to the DC link and/or to at least one phase supply line, whereby the rectifier bridge is a bidirectional rectifier bridge being configured to convert DC supplied to the DC link from the backup power supply to an AC voltage supplied to at least two of the phase supply lines connected with at least one load circuit. An earth fault protection circuit for the load circuit is connected between earth and a common terminal of the capacitors of the LCL filter for monitoring an earth fault indicating signal, and which earth fault protection circuit is configured to issue an earth fault signal and/or initiating earth fault safety measures, dependent on the earth fault indicating signal.
