Zusammenfassung:	A device, system and method protects from overvoltages. A power control device includes a component (310) configured to be powered according to a duty cycle. The power control device includes a controller (330) configured to determine the duty cycle that places the component on or off. The power control device includes a comparator (335) configured to determine when the duty cycle is off and an overvoltage is being experienced by the component. When the duty cycle is off and the overvoltage is being experienced by the component, the comparator selects a circuit pathway (345, 350) including a clamping device (350).
