Amplifier Protection:
Excessive output voltage; shorted loads;
excessive phase shift; rf interference;
overtemperature; excessive back EMF;
In-rush current limiter
Load Protection:
Start-up/shutdown transients; dc fault;
infrasonic signals; low ac line voltage;
nonlinear signal limiter
Output Topology:
True complementary symmetry with
ungrounded collectors (no mica insulators
means better heat transfer)
