It is inherently short-circuit proof and cannot expose delicate loads to overvoltage hazards. Hence no crowbar, fuses, or bounding circuits are needed. Ferroresonant power supplies use no noise-producing switches or oscillators. Voltage setting is independent of delicate control settings or diode references and requires no comparators, references, or limiters. Efficiency is 70-80%.
PRR models optimized for railroad applications are identified by the -rr suffix. These models include the power OK relay, railroad output studs, and an input barrier strip.
