i.p.s. ckt
Hi,
What i understand from your description of problem is that you need a protection from excess draw of curent by user.
If that is what you are looking, then you can just inmplement a resettable fuse,
a polyswitch a single component which should be placed in series to your circuit
and this will allow required current to flow and opens at excess current is drawn from it,
just google on tyco polyswitch, you may get some clue.
All the best.
Babesh..
