Abstract:
A supply voltage monitor includes a switch circuit that enables coupling of an AC power supply to a load. A control circuit switches the switch circuit from a non-conductive state to a conductive state, and vice-versa, based upon a state of a state machine implemented by the control circuit, and further reports anomalies in process variables, such as voltage and current levels, temperature, etc., based on the state of the state machine. The transition criteria that is met to compel a transition in state is selectable by a user by way of a user interface. The transition criteria may correspond to different power levels that define a range over which the power is considered nominal and a range over which the power is considered to be an anomaly. The transition criteria additionally define what type of anomalies are reported without a change in the conductivity of the switch circuit.
