If-Off-Stay-Off Box, power loss safety device
Description
The If-Off-Stay-Off Box Is A Cheap Tool For Protecting Electro-Mechanical Devices From Damaging Themselves Following A Power Outage By Preventing Them From Turning Back On When The Power Returns. If The If-Off-Stay-Off Is Unplugged And Re-Plugged In Then It Will Remain Off Until The Button Is Pressed (Then It Will Remain On Until Unplugged Again). I Designed This For A Friend Who Was Worried About His Fish Tank Filter Pump, Which Needed Manual Priming To Operate Properly And Would Be Damaged If Allowed To Run Dry (Which Would Happen Following A Power Outage). Of Course An Uninterruptible Power Supply (Ups) Is The Preferred Option For Protecting Devices During A Power Outage, But They Also Cost About $60. Perhaps You Can Think Of Alternatives Uses For This Device Anyway; Practical Jokes Maybe?
