Abstract:
A phase detection circuit includes first to third power input modules, first to third power input terminals, an alarm module, first to fifth electronic switches, and a power management module. The power input modules are used to convert pulse signals from a multi-phase power supply into direct current voltages and output the direct current voltages to the first to third electronic switches. When the multi-phase power supply operates abnormally, no direct current voltages are output to the first to third electronic switches and the alarm module alarms.
Abstract:
A power supply negative-phase detecting circuit (10) for electronic equipment (12) using a three-phase AC power supply source includes a pulse generator (13) for generating a first pulse indicating the phase difference between any pair of two phases of three-phase AC power to be supplied to the electronic equipment and a second pulse indicating the phase difference between another pair of two phases of the three-phase AC power, a differentiating circuit (25) for generating a third pulse from the second pulse in synchronism with the rise-up of the second pulse so that the third pulse has a pulse width smaller than the phase difference between the first and second pulses, and a switching unit (14) for subjecting the first pulse and the third pulse to OR operation and turning on/off the power supply to be supplied to the electronic equipment on the basis of the OR operation result of the first and third pulses.
Abstract:
An air-conditioning apparatus includes a control circuit adapted to detect, from among first to third line voltages of a three-phase AC power supply, the second or third line voltage not synchronizing with a serial signal. The control circuit detects a difference between a phase angle of the detected line voltage and that of the serial signal, compares the difference with set values and determines, by that comparison, whether the three-phase AC power supply is in a positive-phase sequence or in a negative-phase sequence. The operation of a compressor is inhibited when the negative-phase sequence is determined by the control circuit.

Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling the starting of a three phase load in its normal phase sequence. The apparatus is connected to the load in a predefined manner and has input terminals for receiving three phase electric energy through external supply lines. There is provided a device within the apparatus which automatically corrects the phase sequence of the electric energy supplied to the load. An open phase protection device is provided which allows the starting of the load in response to the absence of open phase in the received electric energy, and inhibits the starting of the load in response to the presence of open phase in the received electric energy due to, for example, breaking of an external supply line. In one embodiment, the apparatus is built into a submersible motor-pump assembly. The pump is always initiated to rotate its impeller in a proper direction for pumping, regardless of correct or incorrect phase connections between the external supply lines and the input terminals of the apparatus. The open phase sensor and associated switches prevent a single phase mode of operation of the load.

Abstract:
In a phase monitoring arrangement for a three phase network which supplies a controlled d.c. motor through a controlled converter, a power line dependent discriminator along with R-C circuits forms a smoothed, rectified monitoring voltage which depends on the phase sequence and is sensitive thereto and to phase failure along with a supplementary monitoring voltage dependent only on phase failure, the rectified monitoring voltage and supplementary monitoring voltage being supplied to an evaluating circuit comprising differential comparing amplifiers at which the monitoring voltages are compared with constant reference voltages independent of faults and the output thereof used to control switching means and a current regulator so that in the event of incorrect phase sequence or of a phase failure, the switching means feed a blocking signal which suppresses firing pulses to the controlled converter and the current regulator feeds a control signal to control the converter to its operating limit.
Abstract:
A safety device includes a resistance, a condenser and a relay winding which are star-connected across a three-phase source of AC potential providing the supply potential for a three-phase motor which is controlled, as to operation in the normal and reverse directions, by a three-phase magnetic contactor connected to the motor by forward or normal and reverse end limit switches. The safety device further includes a normally closed contact which is opened upon energization of the relay winding, and this contact is connected in series in the control circuit of the electromagnetic contactor. This control circuit is connected to the same single phase as is the series connection of the condenser and the relay winding. If the three-phase source of AC potential does not have the proper phase sequence, or if a single phase is inoperative, the relay winding is sufficiently energized to open the normally closed contact and thus interrupt energization of the magnetic contactor with resultant deenergization of the three-phase motor driving the winch.
Abstract:
A reverse phase and single phase detecting device utilizes a silicon controlled rectifier connected with its main current path between at least two of the phases of the polyphase source to be monitored. The control electrode of the SCR receives its energization from a firing circuit connected to a third phase of the polyphase source. Under normal operating conditions the firing signal is delivered early enough in the interval when the SCR is forward biased that sufficient current is passed through the current path to operate a translating device. Under reverse phase or single phase conditions the SCR does not fire until late in the interval when the SCR is forward biased or it does not fire at all so that the detector is not activated. Preferably the firing circuit comprises a pulse generator adjusted to deliver a triggering pulse through the control electrode of the SCR at an instant which provides a greater separation in the response of the device between normal conditions and reverse or single phase conditions. A second SCR can be placed in series with the first with its control electrode receiving its firing signal from a sample and hold circuit connected across the primary SCR so that the translating device will not be operated should the primary SCR fail as a short circuit.
