Abstract
A device for detecting opposite phases and an open phase in an input three-phase voltage for a DC motor, wherein the input three-phase voltage is rectified by a three-phase bridge circuit and supplied to the armature of the DC motor. The input three-phase voltage is supplied to the three-phase bridge circuit when the maximum level is equal to or less than the reference voltage, while the input three-phase voltage is not supplied to the bridge circuit when the maximum level is greater than the reference voltage. In this case, both opposite phases and an open phase can be detected by using a common device. In addition, only two phases, such as U- and W-phases, are used for detecting opposite phases and an open phase no matter how these phases may be generated in any phase such as U-, V- or W-phase of the input three-phase voltage. As a result, the device is small in size, simple in electrical construction and low in cost.
