Abstract
An equipment protector and energy saving apparatus includes transient protection as well as under voltage protection by preventing the reduced voltage from being applied to motors and other apparatuses that may be damaged because of insufficient voltage being applied thereto. Provision is incorporated to protect for momentary low voltage transients and turn-on prevention, if the line voltage should be reduced below a predetermined value. Provision is also made for correcting for a small increase in line voltage which may occur when the operating equipment is removed from the line. A timing device may be incorporated therein in order to remove the protected equipment from the line for predetermined intervals of time.
