ABSTRACT:
A power control unit protection apparatus is provided in association with a power control unit for controlling high or low power supply selectively to a loud speaker. The power control unit protection apparatus has an average current detector for detecting an average current supplied to a transformer, a temperature detector detecting the temperature of the transformer, and a timer. When the average current exceeds a predetermined level, and when the temperature rises above a predetermined temperature, timer starts to count a predetermined time. After the count, a cut off signal is produced to cut off the use of the high power supply from the power control unit. Thus, the power control unit protection apparatus prevents breakdown due to overheating of the power control unit including the power supply transformer by limiting the power supplied to the speaker.
