ABSTRACT:
An electrical apparatus for monitoring electrical continuity includes a number of input circuits each associated with a respective arm of a multi-phase rectifier circuit the continuity of which is to be monitored. Each input circuit includes a comparator which generates a train of pulses P while an input current persists in the arm. If a discontinuity arises in an arm for a first preset interval of time a monostable in that arm generates a first trigger signal. If the discontinuity persists for a further preset interval of time another monostable, common to all the arms, triggers an alarm via a bistable circuit.
