A motor control circuit for submersible pumps has features to prevent restarting while the electric motor is backspinning. The circuit includes a sensor for sensing the voltage produced by the residual magnetism in the rotor of the motor while it backspins. The voltage sensed is amplified, then rectified and compared with a reference voltage that is preset. The reference voltage corresponds to a voltage produced during backspinning at a selected maximum amount tolerable when restarting. The DC pulses are filtered to provide a corresponding voltage, then compared to the reference voltage. The control circuit is disabled from allowing a restart, either manual or automatic, when the corresponding voltage is greater than the reference voltage. |
