  • Patent number: 4258368
    Abstract: A safety device for preventing the automatic restart of a motor upon restoration of power to the motor. This device, in its preferred embodiment, includes a thyristor switch, such as a triac, in one of the power leads to the motor which is triggered by energizaton of the motor. Upon deenergizaton of the motor, the thyristor switch switches to its non-conductive state thereby preventing automatic restarting of the motor upon restoration of the power. A selectively actuable, momentary run switch is provided to momentarily shunt out the thyristor switch so as to selectively permit the restart of the motor.
