Abstract

A protection circuit for monitoring the power from a luminous tube transformer to a luminous tube including sensor connected to a secondary of the transformer, a window comparator circuit connected to the sensor and providing a fault signal when the sensor output exceeds the window limits, and a driver switching off power to the transformer primary when the driver receives a fault signal. A temperature compensation circuit monitors the ambient air temperature for providing a time delay before disconnecting the power supply until the luminous tube stabilizes, and also turns off the power supply when the ambient temperature exceeds upper and lower limits.
