If you have frequent power outages in your region, hook
the appliance up to a 12 volt battery and it will automatically
switch to battery power in the event of a power failure. The

sustain the appliance operation and the appliance will
shut down. Figure 28.1. You must disconnect and re-
connect the battery to start it up again.
