Abstract

Electronic circuitry senses over-voltage and under-voltage within narrow threshold limits, and voltage interruption, in the energization circuit of a sensitive load, such as a refrigeration compressor motor load, to protect against overheating damage and burn-out. Setting to a nominal operating line voltage is provided for to obviate readjustment to the threshold voltages of a window comparator utilized to sense over-voltage and under-voltage.
