Abstract

An operation supervisory apparatus of a canned motor comprising a first detection device for detecting mechanically abnormal operation and electrically abnormal operation of a canned motor a second detection device for detecting the rotating direction of the canned motor, a combining circuit combining an output signal from the first detection and second detection devices and taking out the greater output signal of the two, and an indicator displaying an output signal from the combining circuit. The output signal of the second detection device at the time of reverse rotation of the canned motor being set to a value greater than the output signal thereof at the time of normal rotation and than the output signal of the first detection device within the range of normal operation of the canned motor. The first detection device is constructed by disposing even-numbered detection coils in a stator core of a radial air gap type canned motor to space each other by a polar pitch or integer times the polar pitch and electrically connected in series with each other so that their fundamental wave components offset each other.

Claims

1. An operation supervisory apparatus of a canned motor comprising:

a first detection means electrically connected to a plurality of detection coils disposed in a stator core of a canned motor and detecting mechanically abnormal operation and electrically abnormal operation of said canned motor by means of a combined value of higher harmonic wave voltages induced in said coils;

a second detection means disposed in said canned motor and detecting the rotating direction of said canned motor;

a combining circuit combining an output signal from said first detection means and an output signal from said second detection means and taking out the greater output signal of the two; and

an indicator displaying an output signal from said combining circuit;

said first and second detection means being so arranged that the output signal of said second detection means at the time of reverse rotation of said canned motor is set to a value greater than the output signal thereof at the time of normal rotation and than the output signal of said first detection means within the range of normal operation of said canned motor.

2. The operation supervisory apparatus of a canned motor as defined in claim 1 wherein said first detection means is constructed by disposing even-numbered detection coils in a stator core of a radial air gap type canned motor to space each other by a polar pitch or integer times the polar pitch and electrically connected in series with each other so that their fundamental wave components offset each other.

3. The operation supervisory apparatus of a canned motor as defined in claim 1 or 2 wherein said combining circuit is constructed by connecting one pole each of two diodes to said first detection means and to said second detection means, respectively, and the other pole each of said two diodes, to an indicator.

4. The operation supervisory apparatus of a canned motor as defined in claim 1, 2 or 3 wherein said second detection means is formed by connecting a phase detection circuit comprising a resistor and a reactance to power terminals of said canned motor.
