  • Patent number: 10424447
    Abstract: A switching system, in particular of an on-board electrical system of a motor vehicle having a first disc which has a first, a second, a third, and a fourth stationary contact. The second and the third stationary contact, are electrically contacted by a first contact bar of the first disc. The switching system also has a second disc which has a first, a second, a third, and a fourth movable contact. The first and the second movable contact are electrically contacted by a second contact bar of the second disc, and the third and the fourth movable contact are electrically contacted by a third contact bar of the second disc. The second disc is rotationally mounted about a rotational axis relative to the first disc, wherein all the contacts are electrically connected in series in an angular position. A circuit breaker is also provided that includes a switching system.

  • Publication number: 20190228940
    Abstract: Provided herein are modular fuse holders for single bolt fuses. In some approaches, a fuse holder may include a base having a lower wall and a set of sidewalls, the lower wall including a plurality of bolt openings provided therethrough. The fuse holder may further include a cover securable with the base, the cover including an upper wall and a set of outer walls, the outer walls including a plurality of cable openings, wherein the base and the cover define an interior cavity for housing a bolt assembly. In some approaches, the fuse holder may include a busbar atop the lower wall of the base, the busbar including a set of openings aligned with one or more of the bolt openings of the lower wall. In some embodiments, a side cover may extend over some of the plurality of cable openings in the outer wall of the cover.

  • Patent number: 10137783
    Abstract: A high-voltage motor vehicle electric system contains a high-voltage battery and a consumer network which are interconnected by an electric cable, and a quick-break switch for disconnecting the high-voltage battery from the consumer network. The quick-break switch receives an airbag signal. The airbag signal is used for actuating the quick-break switch to sever the electric cable supplying power to the consumer network.

  • Patent number: 8792961
    Abstract: In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) system to create an MR magnitude image data set and a phase image data set of an examination subject, first echo signals in a first raw MR data set are detected after a first echo time TE1 and at least second echo signals in at least one second raw MR data set are detected after a second echo time TE2 that is longer than TE1, a magnitude image data set is generated on the basis of the first raw MR data set and the at least one second raw MR data set with averaging of the first and the at least one second raw MR data set, and the phase image data set is generated based on the phase information contained in the at least two raw MR data sets, with averaging of the respective phase information contained in the at least two raw MR data sets.
