Abstract: A motor vehicle differential gear has at least one housing part as a first gear part, and a crown wheel as a second gear part. The first and second gear parts are connected via respective first connection surfaces running in the axial direction by a press fit, and via respective second connection surfaces running at an angle to the axial direction, forming a welding seam. One of the gear parts is formed from a steel and the other gear part from a cast iron material, as well as such a differential gear in which the second connection surfaces connect directly to the first connection surfaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a network feed device (10) for feeding electrical energy from a DC energy source (12) into a three-phase AC supply network (32), where the DC voltage of a DC intermediate circuit (24) is converted by means of at least one inverter unit (14) into a three-phase voltage and is fed by means of a transformer device (16) comprising three network transformer windings (38) into the AC supply network (24). The invention is characterized in that a first winding terminal of the network transformer windings (38) is connected to a half-bridge (30) of a first inverter device (14a), and a second winding terminal of the network transformer windings (38) of the transformer device (16) is connected to a half-bridge of a second inverter device (14b).

Abstract: An activation circuit and a method for operating an activation circuit for a DC motor having an electrically actuated stopping brake, in particular for adjusting a rotor blade of a wind or water power facility. The activation circuit includes an emergency operation supply unit and a three-phase bridge inverter. The emergency operation supply unit is connected so it is disconnectable via an emergency operation network switching element to the intermediate circuit of the three-phase bridge inverter, the DC motor is connected via an emergency operation motor changeover element either to the three-phase bridge inverter or to the emergency operation supply unit, and the stopping brake is connected via an emergency operation brake changeover element either to the three-phase bridge inverter or to the emergency operation supply unit.

Abstract: A method and device for measuring electric currents in n conductors (n≧2), the measurement of the currents being carried out with (n−1) magnetoresistive sensors. Reliable excess current and/or fault current protection is obtained.
