Abstract
Abstract Procedure for monitoring the phase sequence in a three-phase network, for instance in lift operation. Between the normal voltage vectors (R,S,T) indicating the phases are added extra vectors (R',S') which are mutually opposed and equal vectors, and that the extra vectors (R',S') and the voltage vectors (R,S,T) are added up and on the basis of the sum thus obtained, necessary steps are taken.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
A method of monitoring the phase sequence in a three-phase network, comprising the steps of: producing normal voltage vectors indicating the phases, between said normal voltage vectors producing extra vectors which are mutually opposed and equal vectors, and adding up the extra vectors and the normal voltage vectors and on the basis of the sum thus obtained, monitoring the network.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
60 words
A method of monitoring the phase sequence in a three-phase network, comprising the steps of: producing normal voltage vectors indicating the phases, between said normal voltage vectors producing extra vectors which are mutually opposed and equal vectors, and adding up the extra vectors and the normal voltage vectors and on the basis of the sum thus obtained, monitoring the network.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the extra vectors are produced by forming from the vector of one phase a component lagging 60 degrees behind, and compensating said vector by suitably lengthening the vector of the phase preceding said one phase.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
112 words
A circuit for monitoring the phase sequence in a three-phase network having a summing resistor in each phase, comprising an operator amplifier circuit for forming a sum of the phases, a window comparator for monitoring the remaining in zero state of said circuit, said comparator having an output signal controlling a control member; one of said phases lagging by 60 degrees, and another phase leading said lagging phase by 120 degrees, a delay circuit in said one phase, said delay circuit being in parallel with said lagging phase's summing resistor, and the summing resistor incorporated in said other phase being suitably smaller in value than the summing resistors in the other phases.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
112 words
A circuit for monitoring the phase sequence in a three-phase network having a summing resistor in each phase, comprising an operator amplifier circuit for forming a sum of the phases, a window comparator for monitoring the remaining in zero state of said circuit, said comparator having an output signal controlling a control member; one of said phases lagging by 60 degrees, and another phase leading said lagging phase by 120 degrees, a delay circuit in said one phase, said delay circuit being in parallel with said lagging phase's summing resistor, and the summing resistor incorporated in said other phase being suitably smaller in value than the summing resistors in the other phases.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
A circuit according to claim 3, wherein said control member is a relay.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
A circuit according to claim 3 or 4 wherein the delay circuit comprises at least two series-connected delay resistors, and a delay capacitor having one terminal connected to ground and the other between said delay resistors.
