ABSTRACT:
A low-level voltage clamp circuit drives its active components with the fault voltage of a main circuit being protected which main circuit operates at about one volt DC or less. The clamping circuit senses voltages in excess of a predetermined limit and effects the sinking of increasing levels of fault current in order to hold the voltage of the main circuit at the predetermined clamp limit.
