A thermal protection circuit for the die of a transistor having a heat sink in which a signal proportional to the dissipative input current and a signal proportional to the dissipative applied voltage of the transistor are multiplied to produce a signal representative of the applied power to the transistor. This representative applied power signal is transformed into a simulated differential in temperature between the die of the transistor and its heat sink. Simultaneously, the temperature of the heat sink is determined and this temperature is added to the simulated differential in temperature between the die of the transistor and the heat sink to determine a sensed die temperature. A control responsive to this sensed die temperature reduces the applied power to the transistor. |

A current sensor provides a voltage signal which is proportional to the average current flowing through a semiconductor device junction. This voltage signal is applied to a first analogue circuit which produces an output voltage indicative of the average power dissipated at the junction. The output of the first analogue circuit is applied to a second analogue circuit which outputs a voltage signal indicative of the temperature difference between the junction and a heat sink associated with the semiconductor device and to a third analogue circuit which outputs a voltage signal indicative of the temperature difference between the heat sink and ambient. The ambient temperature is sensed by an ambient temperature sensor which outputs a voltage signal indicative of the ambient temperature. A voltage summing circuit sums the output voltages from the second and third analogue circuits and from the ambient temperature sensor, and produces an output voltage indicative of the junction temperature. |

Subject-matter of the invention is an overload protection and display circuit, in particular for operation in conjunction with high-power sound radiators, and including one or more protective circuits therein. Each circuit senses the real value of the electrical sign applied to their inputs. The moment of interference depends on the averaged real output of an adequately long memory period preceding the interference. Consequently the sound radiators may be operated controlled by an output considerably in excess of the usual.Improved results are achieved by connecting an indirectly heated thermistor in series with the winding of an interfering relay, and using a Zener diode connected for operation in the reverse direction, while the filament windings of the indirectly heated thermistor are terminated on the input points of the protective circuit through a resistance. |

A solid state overload indicator of the inverse-operating characteristic type which is more mindful of the electrical thermal characteristics of the load as it is heated. According to the embodiment disclosed for a motor load and having an independently adjustable stall operating time and running overload trip level, the indicator has analog means, for the thermal resistance and capacitance of the copper in the motor for accounting for the heat energy stored in the motor, connected between one DC bus, and a conductor. Voltage-sensitive indicating means is connected to the conductor for producing an indication for a particular voltage thereon, corresponding to the minimum excessive load temperature. First and second voltage-dependent current valves are each connected between the conductor and the other bus and to current-to-voltage transducers connected in the lines to the motor whereby the voltage on the conductor is a function of the motor current subject to the capacitance and equal to the particular voltage for each value of current after a time according to the indicator characteristic has elapsed. The first and second current valves are adjustable for presetting the trip level and the stall time respectively; the second current valve is on only for overloads greater than some value of overload between the stall and running overloads so that the two can be present independently of each other.

The protective circuit is used in a switching arrangement for protecting an electric motor against thermal overload, and of the type including a heating resistor in the motor supply circuit, a temperature sensing resistor, having a highly temperaturedependent resistance characteristic, in heat transfer contact with the heating resistor and a motor cut-off control means connected to the temperature sensitive resistor to provide a signal voltage for disconnecting the motor from its source of potential upon thermal overloading of the motor. The heating resistor has a thermal behavior simulating the thermal behavior of the motor to be protected. A bias voltage is applied to the input of an amplifier of the cut-off control means, and this bias voltage can be set on a potentiometer and is influenced by an additional temperature-dependent resistor to compensate the room temperature at the location of the switching arrangement. The arrangement may be used with either a direct current motor supply, a single phase AC motor supply, or a polyphase AC motor supply.

Apparatus for protecting electrical devices, particularly permanent magnet motors and components for controlling the speed of such motors, such as solid state elements, against excessive current and excessive temperature. A permanent magnet motor utilized for driving an electric appliance, such as a blender, is controlled by a circuit which includes a silicon-controlled rectifier in series with the motor. The SCR is mounted in heat transfer relationship with one side of a heat sink composed of a material having good heat conductivity. A thermally-actuated switch, connected in series circuit with the motor and the SCR, is positioned in heat transfer relationship with the opposite side of the heat sink. The heat sink is constructed so that its thermal mass may be easily modified to make the temperature of the heat sink correspond generally to the temperature of the motor, at least in the range of temperatures where protection is to be provided. The thermally-actuated switch is responsive to the heat sink temperature to protect the electrical devices against excessive temperature of the motor or of the SCR, and also is responsive to current through the resistance of the switch to protect against excessive current surge.
