ABSTRACT:
A remote load controlling apparatus receives a disconnect signal on a line that is filtered and voltage limited. This disconnect signal sets a flip-flop which enables an oscillator and a solid-state switch. The enabled switch energizes a relay to disconnect the load from electric service. A counter counts the output of the enabled oscillator and provides a flip-flop reset signal after a local time delay that is determined by a particular incremented count state of the counter. The reset flip-flop disables the oscillator and solid-state switch to de-energize the relay and reconnect the load to electric service. The flip-flop may also be reset by a remote signal to disable the oscillator and solid-state switch and reconnect the load before the counter is incremented to its particular incremented count state. A second counter and a second solid-state switch may be added to ensure that the load is connected to electric service if a component of the apparatus should fail. The second solid-state switch is enabled by the pulse output of the enabled oscillator and is disabled when the oscillator stops generating pulses. The second solid-state switch is connected in series to the first solid-state switch and the relay is energized only when both solid-state switches are enabled. The second counter is provided to enable the oscillator on the leading edge of the disconnect signal and disable the oscillator after a time delay.
