Abstract: An electric device comprises a first and second voltage sensor, a current sensor, an actuator and a controller. The first voltage sensor senses a first voltage at a first contact of a switch inside the electric device and generates a first voltage signal indicating the first voltage, the first contact of the switch coupled to a source line. The second voltage sensor senses a second voltage at a second contact of the switch and generates a second voltage signal indicating the second voltage, the second contact is coupled to a reactive component. The current sensor senses a current at the second contact of the switch and generates an output signal indicating the current. The controller is coupled to the voltage sensors, the current sensor and the actuator and causes, based on at least one of the voltage and current signals, the actuator to actuate one of the contacts to execute switching at a predetermined point of the first voltage.
