  • SHORT-CIRCUITING APPARATUS WITH PYROTECHNIC INITIATION
    Publication number: 20110057762
    Abstract: A short-circuit device for the electrical bypass of an electric module has a contact arrangement, which is disposed in a switching chamber. The contact arrangement has an open circuit-breaker setting, in which a current flow via the contact arrangement is interrupted, and a contact setting, in which a current flow via the contact arrangement is made possible. A pyrotechnic drive for transferring the contact arrangement from its circuit breaker setting into its contact setting, enables cost-effective, rapid bypass or short-circuiting, and the provision of a large current carrying capacity simultaneously. The switching chamber is a vacuum switching chamber in which a vacuum prevails.
