Abstract: A device for correcting a time parameter in a first node in accordance with a second node is provided. The device includes a clock pulse generator unit configured to provide periodic clock pulses in the first node. The device further includes a peripheral unit configured to decode symbols of an asynchronously transmitted telegram from the second node and to measure a number of clock pulses during the transmission of a symbol sequence of consecutive symbols of the telegram. The device also includes a correction unit configured to correct the time parameter as a function of a ratio of the measured number of clock pulses and the number of consecutive symbols in the symbol sequence.

Abstract: A flexible circuit breaker includes at least two semiconductor switches, at least one input and at least two outputs. Each of the at least two semiconductor switches can carry a defined current, and each of the at least two semiconductor switches is monitored individually in relation to the current flowing therethrough, the first output is assigned to a first semiconductor switch, where by a selection using a selection device on the flexible circuit breaker, one can select whether the current flowing through a second semiconductor switch is assigned to the second output or the first output.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a circuit breaker with a monitoring device having an electronic switch and a mechanical changeover switch, where the mechanical changeover switch has a first terminal, a second terminal and a third terminal, where in a neutral position of the mechanical changeover switch the first terminal is connected to the third terminal and where in an operating position of the mechanical changeover switch the second terminal is connected to the third terminal, where the electronic switch is connected to the third terminal of the mechanical changeover switch as a series circuit, where when switching on the circuit breaker in a first switching state, initially the electronic switch is activated, where a measurement is taken at the first terminal using the monitoring device to determine whether essentially the same potential is present at the first terminal as at the third terminal and, it this is the case, the electronic switch is activated and the mechanical changeover switch is in an operating p

Abstract: The invention relates to a device circuit breaker having intelligent limit value determination. In a training phase, the device circuit breaker is adjusted to a specific device and its load behavior. In a subsequent monitoring phase—based on the values determined in the training phase—present values or values derived from those are compared and, if necessary, the current flow is interrupted.

Abstract: A thermal overload protection device includes a first and a second current-carrying element which are electrically connected to one another via at least one soldered joint that is configured to melt in an event of an overload. At least one of the current-carrying elements is an inherently resilient current-carrying element which, via the at least one soldered joint, is kept in a first form corresponding to at least one of a non-stable state and a metastable state of the inherently resilient current-carrying element. The inherently resilient current-carrying element is deformable into a second form corresponding to a stable state of the inherently resilient current-carrying element via the at least one soldered joint melting. The first and second current-carrying elements are electrically disconnected from one another with the inherently resilient current-carrying element in the second form.
