Abstract: An anti-reactivation safety device for an electrical load-bearing device, including a power input line for delivering current from a power source across the anti-reactivation device to the load-bearing device. A current transfer switch positioned along the power-input line is provided. The current transfer switch includes a switch for engagement in an open position and in a closed position to thereby control the flow of current across the power-input line. The anti-reactivation safety device further includes a power return line. A latch circuit, linked with the power return line and with the current transfer switch, is provided for biasing the switch in an open position and in a closed position. The latch circuit includes a current divider. The anti-reactivation safety device includes a load sensor circuit for selectively engaging the latch circuit.
