Abstract

1,212,318. Protective arrangements. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. 15 May, 1969 [18 May, 1968], No. 24791/69. Heading H2K. A two-terminal network for automatically interrupting a circuit when the current becomes excessive, comprises the series combination of a resistor 6, .a PNP transistor 16 and a NPN transistor 17, the transistor 16 having an additional collector connected through a voltage threshold device 18 to the terminal of the resistor 6 remote from the transistors. When the current is excessive, the voltage drop across the resistor 6 and the base-emitter circuit of the transistor 17 is sufficient to cause the device 18 to breakdown so that the additional collector of the transistor 16 intercepts the current to the normal collector and switches off the transistors. The device 18 may be formed by series-connected diodes. The network may be made as an integrated circuit, Fig. 5 (not shown), and two oppositely poled parallel networks may be used to protect an A.C. circuit, Figs. 6 and 7 (not shown).
