Abstract: An apparatus for compensating for resistance tolerances of a fuse for a circuit, wherein the apparatus is particularly intended for use in a line driver for a communication device and includes a tolerance-affected fuse, a first resistor connected in series with the fuse, and a second resistor connected in parallel with the fuse and the first resistor, where the apparatus has, at a predefined ambient temperature, a resistance that corresponds to a desired total resistance, where the resistance of the second resistor is, depending on a power input into the apparatus in a fault state and/or depending on a predefined tolerance of the resistance of the apparatus, a multiple of that of the first resistor.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for supplying an output current to a load which is useable in power supplies and is connectable in parallel to other circuit arrangements, wherein effects of component tolerances on a uniform working load are avoided.

Abstract: An automation device having a plurality of modules, where at least one first module is configured to supply the other modules electrical power and a second module is configured to determine the total power requirement of the automation device, wherein the second module determines the total power requirement from the information relating to the power requirement of the respective module, which information is stored in the other modules, and compares the total power requirement with a threshold value and initiates measures for reducing the power requirement of at least one of the other modules based on the comparison result to prevent an overload due to improper or inappropriate installation of the automation device in a switchgear cabinet and resultant reduced air convection.

Abstract: An arrangement having DC power supply units connection parallel, wherein, the power supplies of the DC power supply units each generate a partial output current for supplying a load with a total output current. In accordance with the invention, an overload of power supply units when the power supply units are switched on and/or during their restart is largely avoided.
