First and second devices (8,9) measure the speed of rotation at two widely separated points H and J along a line of shafts, e.g. through a turboalternator unit. Parameters representative of the opposing torque are determined by a third device which is responsive to signals derived from said measured speeds and to a signal representative of the travel of a controlling servomotor (7). Apparatus are provided that determine the torsion damage suffered, if any, on the basis of the signals provided by said first, second and third devices. The system avoids the prior art need to use expensive, high-current transformers, and can also provide more accurate measurement of damage suffered. |
