Abstract: A circuit interruption device (110) is provided in which an interruption element (112) and a fuse element (114) are configured electrically in parallel. The interruption element includes an electrical conductor and a current interrupter capable of severing the electrical conductor to eliminate its capacity to carry current. An exemplary embodiment of a circuit interruption device is capable of detecting an interrupt control signal and actuating in response to the signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection unit for the connection of electrical and/or electronic components to a pole of a motor vehicle battery comprising a first conductor section that can be connected to a battery pole; a second conductor section originating from the first conductor section and including a main conductor and a bypass conductor, to which the at least one respective electrical and/or electronic component can be connected; an interruption unit, by which an electrical and/or electronic component connected to the main conductor can be electrically isolated from the battery; and at least one sensor for the measurement of a battery current and/or of a battery voltage.
