A power supply with an input protection circuit is disclosed. The protection circuit includes a thermistor that heats up if the power supply is mistakenly connected to an excessive input voltage. When the thermistor gets hot, its resistance increases, and isolates the down stream portion of the power supply from the input voltage. A relay in parallel with the thermistor is closed, thus shorting the thermistor, after a preset time if the input voltage had a proper magnitude.
