Abstract
A demagnetization circuit controls a demagnetization current to its demagnetization coil by means of a PTC thermistor with positive characteristic. The PTC thermistor is connected in series with and thermally coupled to a heat-sensitive switch. An NTC thermistor with negative characteristic for suppressing rush current of the voltage source is also thermally coupled to the heat-sensitive switch. After a power switch is closed, the heat-sensitive switch is opened by the heat emitted from the PTC thermistor and remains open by the heat from the NTC thermistor. The two thermistors and the heat-sensitive switch are contained in a case for easy handling and to make the component compact.
