Hi Pete, considering the over voltage were looking at is pretty obvious, making it easy to detect with only a few components, something as simple as a comparater with FET switching or even simpler like a Zener and transistor based switch. It needs to lock in the off state once tripped, until reset.
The thing about the Kilovac or equivalent is that it's designed for very high DC current and voltage switching in electric vehicles and such, and with inbuilt economizer, draws less then 2 watts when energized.
I'm sure someone will post a suitable circuit before I get around to it, I just have so many things going on at the moment, I'm sure a google search will also reveal plenty of basic circuits, they've been around forever.
But I will get back to it in a few weeks once I have the spare inverter finished and the main inverter converted to the Nano controller.
