Patent number: 6853527Abstract: The present invention discloses an over-current protection apparatus for high voltage, which connects the ceramic current-sensing element and polymer current-sensing element in series to form a novel over-current protection apparatus. By the characteristic of the polymer current-sensing element having higher switching off speed, the invention first responds to the over-current by raising its temperature, and then the heat is thermally conducted through the adhesive layer to the ceramic current-sensing element, resulting in a voltage drop produced by the over-current partially or predominantly received by the ceramic current-sensing element. Thus, the over-current protection device of the invention not only can endure high voltage (>600V), but also will not exhibit a negative temperature coefficient phenomenon.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: Polytronics Technology CorporationInventors: Edward Fu-Hua Chu, David Shau-Chew Wang, Yun-Ching Ma
