Limiting Amplitude Of Electricity Delivered To An Electrical Load

A method of protecting an electrical load from anomalous electricity, the method comprising:

• generating, responsive to an overvoltage event, a modulation signal that defines at least one amplitude notch of variable temporal width;
• and
• compelling a switching mechanism to transition into conducting and non-conducting states in accordance with the modulation signal to superimpose thereby the amplitude notch on electricity conveyed to an output port through the switching mechanism, wherein output electricity is provided at the output port from input electricity accepted through an input port.

A tangible, non-transient computer-readable medium having processor instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• generate, responsive to an overvoltage event, a modulation signal that defines at least one amplitude notch of variable temporal width;
• and
• compel a switching mechanism to transition into conducting and non-conducting states in accordance with the modulation signal to superimpose thereby the amplitude notch on electricity conveyed to an output port through the switching mechanism, wherein output electricity is provided at the output port from input electricity accepted through an input port.
