Abstract
An over-power detector for detecting an over-power condition of an electronic apparatus powered by power from an AC power source. The over-power detector includes an over-current detector for detecting whether current used by the apparatus exceeds a settable current threshold. The current threshold is set based on a detection of peak voltage on the AC power source, such that the output of the over-current detector is representative of an over-power condition.
