If a short circuit between coil turns causes the resistance to drop beyond the threshold, the first LM339 voltage comparator outputs a high level.
[0038] Meanwhile, the temperature monitoring module 3 uses a thermistor mounted on an electromagnetic coil. As the resistance changes with temperature, the Wheatstone bridge imbalance signal is input to the second LM339 voltage comparator via an AD620 instrumentation amplifier. When the coil temperature exceeds the threshold, the second LM339 voltage comparator outputs a high level.
[0039] When any input of the CD4071 OR gate of logic control module 4 is high, the output triggers the NE555 timer. After a delay confirmation, the NE555 timer outputs a high level to drive the ULN2003 chip, which energizes the transistor and relay coil. After the relay is activated, the relay switch opens and the electromagnetic coil is de-energized.
[0040] This prevents the electromagnetic coil from operating beyond its threshold and avoids damage due to overload.
