Abstract
A power supply, for providing operating potential to a load switching controller, is connected in series between an A.C. source and at least one power-consuming load, and in parallel with the controller to which operating potential is provided. The power supply operates by connection of the source to charge an output capacitor only during a single polarity half-cycle of the source; the connection is terminated when the output voltage, across the capacitor, reaches a predetermined magnitude.
