Abstract

A protecting arrangement is dislcosed for multiple loads supplied from a single DC power source. Each load is monitored by a separate protection circuit. Detection of an over-current condition associated with one of the loads will cause the associated protection circuit to assume a non-conducting state and provide a visual indication of same. Periodically enabled common reset means are provided to restore conduction to non-conducting protection circuits following removal of the cause of over-current.
