Abstract
Abstract A system for providing continuous operation of electrical appliances, lights, etc. comprising a primary load circuit and a secondary load circuit. Each of the load circuits having a source of power and a load. Monitor means is arranged between the primary and secondary load circuits which is responsive to the passage of current in the primary circuit to maintain the secondary circuit inoperative, and responsive to the cessation of current in the primary circuit to render said secondary circuit operative. Preferably the monitor means comprises a transformer and a solenoid relay.
