Abstract:
A lighting relay panel may include lower-cost features or components related to improved safety and reliability. In some cases, the relay panel includes a power supply capable of protecting the panel from high-voltage and high-current transients. A microcontroller may determine a power interruption based on a zero-cross signal received from the power supply, and may also configure latching relays during the interruption. In some implementations, the relay panel includes a relay sense circuit that is capable of receiving actuation signals from multiple relays connected to different phases of a power signal, and the microcontroller may synchronize or repeat the actuations based on a signal from the relay sense circuit. The microcontroller may generate relay addresses based on the relay positions within the relay panel. In some cases, the relay panel may include isolation circuits that are capable of providing an isolated control signal having an improved voltage range.

Claim (Index 1):
A protection circuit, comprising:\n a first varistor configured for connection to an AC power source, wherein a first connector of the first varistor is configured for connection to a hot connection of the AC power source and a second connector of the first varistor is configured for connection to a neutral connection of the AC power source, and the first and second connectors of the first varistor are configured for connection to inputs of an EMI filter; a second varistor configured for connection to a rectifier, wherein a first connector of the second varistor is configured for connection to a hot connection of the rectifier and a second connector of the second varistor is configured for connection to a neutral connection of the rectifier, and the first and second connectors of the second varistor are configured for connection to outputs of the EMI filter; and a third varistor configured for connection to the AC power source, wherein a first connector of the third varistor is configured for connection to the neutral connection of the AC power source and second connector of the third varistor is configured for connection to a ground connection, wherein the second connector of the first varistor is connected to the first connector of the third varistor at the neutral connection of the AC power source.
