ABSTRACT:
An electronic signal proportional to Icos.theta. for an induction motor is substantially proportional to the mechanical power output of the motor. This signal is detected by rectifying a signal which is an analog of motor current in phase with the motor voltage and time averaging the rectified signal. Comparing the averaged signal to a reference level permits the interruption of motor current for an underload or an overload condition. The circuit permits detection of excessive ice formation on the outdoor heat exchanger of a heat pump system. The circuit is connected to the impeller drive motor which forces air across the heat exchanger and stops the motor and initiates the de-ice procedure when the ice blockage causes mechanical power delivered by the motor to deviate to a selected level.
