-15. (canceled)
A power distributor comprising:
- a supply input electrically connected to a plurality of component outputs via respective component power branches, wherein each of the component power branches comprises at least one component fuse element;
- and
- at least one bypass current path that is routed from a supply input to at least two of the component outputs, and which comprises at least one electronic bypass fuse.
A method for operating a power distribution system,
- wherein the power distribution system comprises:
- a power distributor comprising:
- a supply input electrically connected to a plurality of component outputs via respective component power branches, wherein each of the component power branches comprises at least one component fuse element;
- and
- at least one bypass current path that is routed from a supply input to at least two of the component outputs, and which comprises at least one electronic bypass fuse a trip logic circuit configured to at least actuate the at least one electronic bypass fuse;
- and
- a trip logic circuit configured to at least actuate the at least one electronic bypass fuse,
- wherein the method comprises:
- detecting a fault, a malfunction, and/or a tripping of at least one component fuse element;
- and
- actuating, on a basis of the detecting, at least one electronic bypass fuse to switch to a conducting state.
