Abstract: A sanding apparatus for sanding a vicinity of a drywall seam is provided comprising a housing structure including guide structures, a sanding roller, and a motor for driving the sanding roller such that the guide structures guide a sanding depth during sanding. The sanding apparatus further includes a vacuuming mechanism for capturing particles that result from sanding.

Abstract: Protection apparatus for an AC or DC motor (4) and a static drive (8), including a static inverter or a static drive (8). An I.sup.2 T signal is modified to take account of the frequency with which the switching elements of the drive (8) are switching their load current (at 42) and other factors. The modified I.sup.2 T signal is lowpass filtered in a filter whose cutoff frequency is also a function of the drive's switching frequency. The resulting drive protection signal is compared with a predetermined threshold. An I.sup.2 T signal is also modified to take account of the speed of the motor and other factors, then filtered, to provide a motor-related signal (at 90). Upon occurrence of an overload both the drive-related signal and the motor-related signal are indpendently capable of turning off the system by tripping a line contactor (6).
