ABSTRACT:
A circuit for closing a relay when an active AC voltage connected to one of the contacts of the relay is approximately zero volts includes a monitoring circuit that monitors the active AC voltage and outputs a phase-shifted voltage that crosses zero volts at predetermined times before the active AC voltage traverses zero volts. A pulse generating circuit initiates a pulse when the phase-shifted voltage enters a predefined voltage region and terminates the pulse when the voltage exits that region. An input signal is strobed onto the control input of the relay by the pulse so that the relay changes state coincident with the zero crossing of the active AC voltage.
