Hello,
We have a lamp which runs off a current source when the mains is on, this current source drives the LED luminaire, and another current source drives current into the battery to charge it, (battery runs the lamp when mains fails)
The problem comes when the lamp is disconnected when the mains is on, because the current source just keeps being a current source and pushes the rails up to very high voltages which blows it up.
...The same applies to the battery , when the battery is removed the current source keeps flowing but has nowhere to flow into.
It would be good if we could short out the battery and lamp connections in the event of such dicsonnection......then there would be a path for the current to flow.
As such, i wondered if their is such thing as a connector which when disconnected, it leaves a short across the terminals........then when re-connected, it breaks the short.
do you know of such a thing.?
