  • Apparatus and method for protecting the contacts of an electrical switch from current surges
    Patent number: 4847719
    Abstract: The contacts of an electrical switch, such as a magnetic contact reed switch or a magnetic contact reed relay used in a burglar alarm system, are protected from being fused together by transient current surges. This protection is accomplished by providing a normally nonconductive shunting path in parallel with the switch. The shunting path includes a voltage responsive device which is biased to conduction in response to a current surge to thereby complete the shunting path and allow the current surge to bypass the switch.
