Abstract
Electrical fuse element 12 comprising a switchable load path 22 and a switchable fuse path 36, wherein the load path 22 and the fuse path 36 are short-circuited with their respective inputs 14. The load path 22 and the fuse path 36 are in mechanical connection with each other in such a way that an electrical opening of the load path 22 causes an electrical closing of the fuse path 36 and that a melting fuse 38 arranged in the fuse path 36 is triggered at the moment of closing of the fuse path 36.
Claims8
Electrical fuse element comprising,
- a switchable load path having a separation point;
- and
- a switchable fuse path, wherein the load path and the fuse path with their respective inputs are short-circuited with each other,
- wherein the load path and the fuse path are in mechanical connection with one another in such a way that a mechanically driven disconnecting element is arranged to cause an electrical opening of the load path by separating the load path at the separation point and simultaneously causing an electrical closing of the fuse path and
- a fuse arranged in the fuse path so as to trigger at the moment of closing of the fuse path,
- wherein the disconnecting element has a disconnection slide which is accelerated by a drive in the direction of the separation point of the load path, the movement of the disconnection slide causing the fuse path to close.

Electrical fuse element comprising,
- a switchable load path having a separation point;
- and
- a switchable fuse path, wherein the load path and the fuse path with their respective inputs are short-circuited with each other,
- wherein the load path and the fuse path are in mechanical connection with one another in such a way that a mechanically driven disconnecting element is arranged to cause an electrical opening of the load path by separating the load path at the separation point and simultaneously causing an electrical closing of the fuse path and
- a fuse arranged in the fuse path so as to trigger at the moment of closing of the fuse path,
- wherein the disconnecting element comprises a flowable medium, the flowable medium being accelerated by a drive in the direction of the separation point and a pressure acting thereby on the separation point separating the separation point.
