Abstract: A color television receiver having degaussing coil means which are energizable by an alternating current source and which are disposed in demagnetizing relation to magnetically permeable materials in receiver components such as the receiver picture tube is shown to include resistor means of positive temperature coefficient of resistivity in series with the degaussing coil means. The resistor means are self-heating when energized and display progressively increasing resistance as resistor temperature increases, the resistor means further displaying a sharp or anomolous increase in resistance when resistor temperature increases to a selected level. Preferably, relay means responsive to this increase in temperature of the resistor are connected in parallel with the degaussing coil means to shunt the degaussing coil means as resistor temperature increases to said selected level.
