Abstract

A motor protection circuit includes a capacitance and resistance timing circuit together with temperature sensing facilities which are energized upon motor startup to terminate operation of a motor in the event of insufficient oil pressure or excessive heat. An oil pressure sensing switch is connected to the timing circuit to prevent its operation so long as sufficient oil pressure is sensed.
