  • Patent number: 7053324
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a switching mechanism for preventing a trip error of a manual motor starter. While using the manual motor starter, even though a latch holder (4) is incompletely released from restraint by a trip lever (3) during trip operation of the switching mechanism (1), the trip lever (3) is pushed upward to allow a restrained state of the latch holder (4) to be completely released at any event. Therefore, when implementing reset operation of the switching mechanism (1), as a latch (2) is smoothly introduced between both pins (4a and 4b) of the latch holder (4) rotated by a predetermined angle, it is possible to prevent breakage of the switching mechanism (1).

  • Patent number: 6900614
    Abstract: A rotation speed search apparatus for an induction motor includes: a voltage control unit for comparing a rated current of a motor and a current detected from the motor and generating an output voltage; and a frequency control unit for comparing a reference excitation current of the motor and an excitation current detected from the motor and generating an output frequency. In case of a big load, an output frequency is reduced. Thus, the slip of the motor is moved to a slip where a maximum torque is generated to enable the induction motor to start. If the speed of the motor in operation is greater than a target frequency, an output frequency is increased, so that the motor can be operated even in the regenerative region of the motor.
