Patent number: 5962998Abstract: A circuit for initiating the setting of a series brake upon detecting a loss of armature current in an overhauling DC crane motor. The circuit includes an ammeter shunt, a meter relay and associated contact, a meter relay power supply, a control relay and associated contact, a low current relay and associated contact and two static timers which can be added to an existing crane operating circuit. The ammeter shunt is located electrically in series with motor armature for monitoring current flow in the armature. The meter relay is connected to the ammeter shunt such that it will operate in response to a signal from the ammeter shunt indicating that current in the motor armature has dropped below a predetermined level. The meter relay requires power for operation, this power being provided by the 24 VDC power supply.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1998Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: Square D CompanyInventors: Patrick J.
