  • AC overvoltage protection circuit
    Patent number: 10027243
    Abstract: A power converter for operation from an AC power source may include a bridge rectifier having an input to receive an AC input voltage and an output to provide a DC voltage, the AC input voltage received from the AC power source through a fuse. An AC input overvoltage protection circuit may be configured to cause a short circuit across the AC input voltage in response to the DC voltage output from the bridge rectifier exceeding a predetermined voltage value for a predetermined period of time.
    Type: Grant
