Abstract
An elevator control apparatus comprises a torque control device for calculating a torque command for a motor for hoisting an elevator cage, a brake which operates in response to a braking command so as to restrain the motor, a brake abnormality detector adapted to operate when a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the torque command is less than a predetermined value, and a brake abnormality output circuit which delivers a predetermined signal when an inferior release of the brake has been detected by the operation of the brake abnormality detector.
