ABSTRACT:
A brushless motor lock detection apparatus for detecting a locked condition of a rotor of a brushless motor includes a pulse generator for generating pulses synchronized to the rotation of the rotor, a capacitor for charging a current during motor being locked, a control circuit for monitoring the charge in the capacitor, and a flip-flop circuit. The control circuit produces a lock detection signal when the charge in the capacitor reaches a predetermined level, and cuts off power to the motor. After a while, the control circuit starts to supply power to the motor. The flip-flop circuit produces a locked state signal which starts in response to the lock detection signal and ends in response to the pulse.
