ABSTRACT:
A protective apparatus for a power transistor which detects an abnormal temperature of a power transistor and cuts a load to the power transistor to prevent possible breakdown of the power transistor. The protective apparatus comprises detecting means which detects a junction temperature of the power transistor on the real time basis from a base-emitter voltage of the power transistor. When the junction temperature of the power transistor is excessively high, a protective circuit produces an output signal, and a muting circuit applies muting to an input signal to or a current flow through the power transistor.
