  • Mains-voltage discrimination device
    Patent number: 4546305
    Abstract: A supply-voltage discrimination device for adapting a load (8) to a lower or higher alternating-voltage range includes a voltage-dependent resistor (1) thermally coupled to a PTC-resistor (2) and electrically connected in series with said voltage-dependent resistor. The resistors are chosen so that initially the dissipation is mainly determined by the voltage-dependent resistor.
