Abstract: A safety circuit for temperature tripping with redundancy is disclosed. The safety circuit comprises a first temperature evaluation module comprising a first input arranged to receive a first input signal derived from a temperature by means of a temperature-dependent element; the first temperature evaluation module further comprising a first output arranged to provide a first output signal corresponding to said determined first temperature state. The safety circuit further comprises a second temperature evaluation module comprising a second input arranged to receive a second input signal derived from said temperature by means of said temperature-dependent element, the second input signal being different from said first input signal; the second temperature evaluation module further comprising a second output arranged to provide a second output signal corresponding to said determined second temperature state.
