A protection circuit for producing one or more triggers in the presence of a monitored overvoltage condition employing photodiode networks for sensing the voltage overload, phototransistors responding to the photodiode outputs and operating gated semiconductors, which, in turn, discharge capacitors for trigger production. Separate networks are provided for each ac polarity operation. Monitoring may be with respect to supply voltage, power supply output voltage or one or more independent voltages. |
