  • Patent number: 10290420
    Abstract: A coil unit for inductive transmission of energy includes a coil and a flux management unit to manage a magnetic flux during operation of the coil. The flux management unit is arranged behind the at least one coil, when viewed along a coil axis of the coil, and includes at least two flux management sectors and a channel between the flux management sectors. At least partially accommodating the coil and the flux management unit is a housing. A supporting element is arranged between a housing base and a housing lid and configured such that a projection of the supporting element along the coil axis is congruent with or lies within an extent of the flux management unit. A force acting on the housing lid can be diverted via the supporting element past the at least one coil and the at least two flux management sectors to the housing base.

  • Publication number: 20160094047
    Abstract: A capacitor module having a capacitor and a heater is disclosed. The temperature of the capacitor can be measured by means of a temperature sensor and the temperature of the capacitor is influenced by the heater. The capacitance value changes as a function of the temperature. Thus a circuit apparatus having a resonance converter can be tuned thereby, since the capacitance value can be regulated or controlled.

  • Publication number: 20120087154
    Abstract: A voltage supply device for a load, in particular for a network, has an energy store that can be connected to connection terminals and a voltage transformer with at least one electronic switch. A reverse polarity protection is in contact with the connection terminals and is designed to convert voltage delivered from the energy store into control voltage for active activation of the electronic switch when the polarity of the voltage is reversed.

  • Publication number: 20120044719
    Abstract: In a control device (28) for the voltage-absent switching of at least one switching element (18-24) of a voltage converter (10), a detection element (30) detects a resonance voltage between the switching element (18-24) and the transformer unit (14). A control unit (34) generates a control signal for the switching element (18-24) as a function of a value of the detected resonance voltage and outputs the control signal to the switching element (18-24). A ZVS path in the control unit switches the switching element at the right time. A bypass path ensures a continuous switching of the switching element if the resonance signal fails to be emitted.

  • Patent number: 7554432
    Abstract: A fuse is provided in a circuit, such that the fuse and an electric device in the circuit are thermally coupled to one another. The generation of the amount of heat by the electric device causes a fusible material in the fuse to melt. In this manner, the current terminal path of the electric device is interrupted.

  • Patent number: 7508295
    Abstract: An electric device generates a predetermined amount of heat in the event of a malfunction. The electric device is protected from overheating in that it is arranged, with a fuse in a circuit, such that the fuse and the electric device are thermally coupled to one another, so that the generation of the amount of heat by the electric device causes a material in the fuse to melt. In this manner, the current terminal path of the electric device is interrupted.
