Electrical assembly with multi-zone temperature monitoring

Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical assembly (10) having multi-zone temperature monitoring, comprising: a heat-generating electrical device (12); a measurement circuit (18) having a plurality of temperature-dependent electrical shunt resistors (20, 20′, 20″, 20a-20h), wherein the shunt resistors (20, 20′, 20″, 20a-20h) are positioned in mutually spaced temperature-measurement regions (22a-22h) of the heat-generating electrical device (12); and an analysis device (28) which has a measurement channel (26) for detecting measurement values, wherein the shunt resistors (20, 20′, 20″, 20a-20h) are electrically conductively connected to the measurement channel (26) of the analysis device (28) via a common measurement line (24), and the analysis device (28) is designed to determine a temperature and/or a temperature limit value being exceeded in at least one of the temperature-measurement regions (22a-22h) by analyzing the signal at the measurement channel (26).
