Abstract:
1. A protection system for an electrical device, the protection device system comprising: (a) a transformer winding producing a transformer voltage in response to a presence of an alternating current within a power cable connectable to provide power to the electrical device; (b) an input circuit not readily separable from said transformer winding and producing, in response to the transformer voltage, one of a first signal and a first circuit condition at a remotely located system controller; (c) a switch circuit not readily separable from said input circuit and responsive to one of a second signal and a second circuit condition output by said remotely located system controller to output one of a third signal and a third circuit condition; and (d) a starter located in a housing with the transformer winding, input circuit and switch and responsive to said one of said third signal and said third circuit condition to disconnect the electrical device from power.
