    Abstract: A device for monitoring synchronous signals of a motor includes a detection module and a processor. The detection module includes a rotational speed detector and an electric detector. The rotational speed detector is adapted to detect a rotational speed of a motor to generate a rotational speed signal. The electric detector is adapted to detect a current value and a voltage value between the motor and a power supply to generate a current signal and a voltage signal, respectively. The processor is electrically connected to the detection module to receive the rotational speed signal, the current signal, and the voltage signal.
