  • Patent number: 11408350
    Abstract: Electrical harness for a turbomachine, comprising a first termination connected to an apparatus (3) capable of emitting an electrical signal, and a second termination connected to a signal processing apparatus (4), characterised in that it comprises an electronic circuit for filtering the signal, said circuit comprising at least one electronic component associated with an operating temperature threshold, and one thermally triggered electrical interruption means connected in series or in parallel with said electronic component, said electrical interruption means being capable of changing from an open state in which a current cannot flow through it, to a closed state in which a current can flow through it, or reciprocally from a closed state to an open state, from a tripping temperature lower than or equal to the operating temperature threshold of said electronic component.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10436119
    Abstract: An assembly for passing an electrical harness through a wall includes a tubular metal end piece passing right through the wall and housing the electrical harness. The assembly further includes a sleeve made from heat-shrinkable material extending around an end part of the tubular end piece and of the electrical harness. The assembly further includes structures for extracting heat from the tubular end piece that are arranged on the side of the end piece surrounded by the heat-shrinkable sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20180080385
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly for passing an electrical harness through a wall (28), comprising a tubular metal end piece (34) passing right through the wall (28) and housing the electrical harness, and a sleeve (38, 64, 66) made from heat-shrinkable material extending around an end part (40, 50) of the tubular end piece (34) and of the electrical harness. The assembly comprises means (42, 44, 46, 76) for extracting heat from the tubular end piece that are arranged on the side of the end piece (34) surrounded by the heat-shrinkable sleeve (38, 64, 66).
