Filed:

May 11, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/747715

Inventors:

Brian David Feldman - Macungie PA, US
Roderick Mark Lusted - Niskayuna NY, US
Brock M. Lape - Clifton Park NY, US

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

G01R 27/28
G01R 19/00

US Classification:

324686, 324658, 324690, 324 67

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention can provide systems, methods, and apparatus for providing a capacitance paddle for measuring capacitance in a stator component such as a stator bar. In one embodiment, a system for measuring capacitance can include an output device operable to measure capacitance in an object. Furthermore, the system can include at least three contacts operable to mount to the object to be sensed. In addition, the system can include at least one conductive material operable to mount to the object to be sensed. Moreover, the system can include a compressible material adjacent to at least some of the at least three contacts and the at least one conductive material, wherein the compressible material can be compressed to permit the contacts to simultaneously contact the object to be sensed, and wherein the output device can output a measure of capacitance associated with the object.

International Classification:

B26D 5/00

Abstract:

A safety warning system that detects the continuation of motion or freewheeling of a cutting device after power has been switched off through measurement of the magnetic field surrounding the motor, or other moving component, and provides a predesignated scheme of warning lamp illumination to indicate the cutting device remains in motion and a hazardous condition exists.
