Abstract
This invention concerns a circuit arrangement for current limiting for a.c. machines with phase gating control by solid-state devices, aimed at achieving a smooth start by arresting the steady decrease in the ignition angles upon the attainment of a predetermined limiting current value. For use with single-phase measurement of the load current, a circuit is provided for measuring the instantaneous value of the magnitude of the load current, such as a threshold-value detector, which is actuated by a single-phase full-wave rectified load current. The output of this threshold-value detector is applied to a monostable digital device.
