1. A remotely activated electrical control circuit for applying power to a load, the circuit comprising:
- switch means connected to an alternating current power supply and in series with the load for switching power to the load;
control means for controlling the conduction and non-conduction of said switch means, said control means being isolatively coupled to said alternating current power supply and said switch means;
said control means includes a transformer with a first winding for applying a control voltage to said switch means for turning it on and off and also includes a control section for selectively shorting a second winding of said transformer; and
said control section includes a full-wave rectifier connected between the output terminals of said second winding of said transformer for providing a DC voltage to activate said control means.
