As configured, they do nothing for positive overvoltage, and conduct if the reverse voltage goes below about -12.7V Looks a little silly to me.. I'd want an 18V zener reverse-biased across the supply, past a fuse. The rest looks pretty sane. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
