Electrical assembly and method

Abstract

An electrical assembly comprising a controller assembly, including: a switch, and an electronic controller electrically connected to the switch; a fuse assembly including a plurality of thermal fuses electrically connectable to a plurality of loads; and a wire electrically connecting the controller assembly with the fuse assembly; wherein the electronic controller is configured to: determine that a current in the wire exceeds a current threshold; determine that a battery voltage is at or below a first voltage threshold; open the switch in accordance with determining that at least one of (i) the current exceeds the current threshold, or (ii) the battery voltage is at or below the first voltage threshold; and close and open the switch to increase a fuse temperature of at least one thermal fuse of the plurality of thermal fuses.
