Abstract
In the present invention, after a motor is electrically disconnected from a power source by a safety switch, said motor is electrically disconnected from a circuit connected thereto by means of a diode. Therefore, the effects of a regenerative electric force generated by said motor in a circuit connected to said motor are eliminated, and the voltage of said circuit connected to said motor is less than a standard safety voltage level.
