Abstract: The invention relates to a space-saving isolating arrester, having for at least two electronic components (EB1, EB2) to be monitored, with the electronic components to be monitored being fastened to a carrier (P) using a thermally softenable fixing means, with an energy accumulator (D1,D2) being arranged on each of the electronic components which—when a thermally softenable fixing means softens—displaces the associated electronic component substantially parallel to the carrier (P), thereby disconnecting the associated electronic component, and also having a mechanically displaceable display means (ANZ), with the mechanically displaceable display means indicating that one or more of the electronic components to be monitored has been disconnected, and with the mechanically displaceable display means (ANZ) being displaced by a disconnecting electronic component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a base element (ST1, ST2, ST3) for receiving an overvoltage protective module (M1, M2, M3) for use in a bus system, having a first bus connection arrangement (BK1) for contacting a first bus potential (L1), a second bus connection arrangement (BK2) for contacting a second bus potential (L2), a third bus connection arrangement (BK3) for contacting a signal bus (L3), wherein the signal bus in a first state indicates the occurrence of a fault and in a second state indicates the non-occurrence of a fault, wherein a fault indicates a missing or incorrectly received or faulty overvoltage protective module (M1, M2, M3), wherein the first and second bus potential are to be used to supply arrangements on the overvoltage protective module (M1, M2, M3), wherein the base element further comprises an electronic monitoring arrangement (UE1), wherein the electronic monitoring arrangement (UE1) identifies whether an overvoltage protective module (M1, M2, M3) is received, wherein, if an overvoltage pr

Abstract: Systems and methods for overvoltage protection are disclosed. According to one illustrative implementation, an overvoltage protection device is provided having one or more overvoltage protection elements and a measuring device for monitoring the overvoltage protection elements. Further, the measuring device may include an evaluation device, which is designed to count pulse-like overvoltage events which are arrested by the overvoltage protection element, wherein the evaluation device is connected to the overvoltage protection element via a light-measuring device and/or a device for identifying a current flow.
