Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesG05D 23/19 (20060101)H02H 9/00 (20060101) F24F 11/00 (20060101) H01H 47/00 (20060101) AbstractThis invention discloses an apparatus for coupling and controlling the overall operation of the operable components of a heat pump system. All of the components of the system are coupled through a single master switching relay which provides a central location from which all of the operations of the system can be initiated and tested. Time delay relays are provided to stagger the start of the secondary heating units of the system to avoid an electrical power surge. | |
