    Abstract: According to a field ground fault detector, a predetermined resistor is connected in series to a predetermined DC voltage. A DC voltage is applied between an N electrode side field circuit of a generator and a ground through the resistor. A voltage applied between terminals of the resistor is input to a low-pass filter. A voltage applied between the N electrode side field circuit and the ground is input to another low-pass filter. Output voltages of the low-pass filters are input to a level ratio determining circuit. The level ratio determining circuit outputs the determined result of the ground fault to the outside of the field ground fault detector corresponding to these voltages. Thus, even if the DC voltage varies or a higher harmonic voltage takes place in a generator of a thyristor exciting type, it does not affect the detecting sensitivity of the ground fault.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for sensing fault current flowing through a person who touches an exposed conductor in a cable connecting a machine to a power distribution center wherein the power distribution center has a number of power cables for connecting a number of machines thereto. Each power cable has a different frequency impressed thereon by an oscillator which frequency is transmitted through an electrical path including the power center if the operator touches the fault. A sensing circuit for each cable is connected in the electrical path and tuned to only the frequency applied to that cable. When the sensing circuit detects that frequency, the sensing circuit interrupts power to the cable. If, for some reason, the sensing circuit fails to interrupt power to the cable, within a selected time interval of less than one-half second, a backup system interrupts power to the entire power center. In order to detect ground faults, the ground conductor in each cable is grounded to the power center's frame through a zener diode bank which is in parallel with a high pass capacitor connected thereto by a preventive resistor. The zener diode bank also suppresses intermachine arcing should two machines touch or come into close proximity. In addition to ground faults, broken ground wires are detected by connecting each ground wire through a preventive resistor to a signal monitor. If a ground wire breaks, the signal monitor for that cable alerts the sensing circuit for that cable, and the sensing circuit interrupts power to the cable.

    Abstract: An electric vehicle drive train includes a controller for detecting and compensating for vehicle rollback, as when the vehicle is started upward on an incline. The vehicle includes an electric motor rotatable in opposite directions corresponding to opposite directions of vehicle movement. A gear selector permits the driver to select an intended or desired direction of vehicle movement. If a speed and rotational sensor associated with the motor indicates vehicle movement opposite to the intended direction of vehicle movement, the motor is driven to a torque output magnitude as a nonconstant function of the rollback speed to counteract the vehicle rollback. The torque function may be either a linear function of speed or a function of the speed squared.

    Abstract: Apparatus for the detection of leakage current in a system includes a power supply and conductors from the supply for supplying power to a load connected to the system. There is an interrupter connected in the system and to a ground point such that a ground leakage current in the system has a closed circuit. Activation of the interrupter about every 12 seconds effectively generates a pulse interrupted ground fault signal. Such signal is detected by a magnetic sensor located relative to a multi-feeder system with high capacitive reactance. The sensor is immune to random electromagnetic and electrostatic conditions in the distribution system. The sensor is synchronized to operate with the interrupter so that sensing is effected at a steady level of a square wave interrupted pulse.

    Abstract: Apparatus for the detection of ground leakage in a normally ungrounded DC system includes a DC power supply and conductors from the supply for supplying power to a load connected to the DC system. There is an indicator connected between the DC system and a ground point such that a ground leakage in the system closes a circuit to activate the indicator. With such activation, a pulser periodically interrupts the circuit to effectively generate an interrupted ground fault signal. Such signal is detected by a sensor located relative to the DC system such that an interrupted ground signal detected by the sensor locates the ground fault. Noise introduced into the pulse signal by the periodic interruption of the circuit during the ground fault occurrence is suppressed by the sensor means.

    Abstract: To detect if a tool bit, such as a drill, a saw blade, or the like, upon being worked into a wall, meets a metallic obstruction, such as a conduit, reinforcement rod, hydraulic pipe or the like, an alternating voltage, preferably between 2 and 20 kHz, is coupled through a coupling capacitor (9) to the tool bit, and current flow to the tool bit is detected by a current measurement stage (10; 31, 32) to disconnect energy to the drive motor (5), for example by disabling firing of a thyristor (15), or closing a valve of a compressed-air tool. The coupling capacitor should have a capacity small enough to provide high impedance to network power frequency, and to insure a substantial change in current being supplied to the tool bit holder, typically a chuck, if the tool bit meets a metallic object in the wall. The a-c supply circuit can be formed as part of a trigger circuit for the thyristor, by pulse-energizing a trigger diode (28) upon repetitive charge of a capacitor (26) through a charging network (22, 23, 24, 25).
