  • Patent number: 11177101
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pyrotechnic fuse for interrupting an electrical circuit, comprising a body (9), in which an explosive charge is disposed, wherein: the pyrotechnic fuse comprises a hollow cylinder (11), in which a piston (12) is disposed, beneath which a separation claw (13) is disposed, beneath which the conductor (20), which is to be severed, is disposed; the piston (12) and the separation claw (13) are pressed downwards once the pyrotechnic fuse has been triggered, and the separation claw (13) severs the conductor (20) at two points; a quenching substance storage chamber (14) is disposed outside the cylinder (11), which quenching substance storage chamber, as a result of the piston being pressed downwards once the pyrotechnic fuse has been triggered, is opened towards a separation chamber (15) such that the quenching substance moves into the separation chamber.

  • Publication number: 20210066011
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for interrupting an electrical current circuit, more particularly a device of this kind that can safely perform a disconnection in a current range up to 100 kA. The device comprises a pyrotechnic switch (PTS) and a safety fuse, wherein the PTS and the safety fuse are connected in series and wherein the PTS can be actively triggered. The PTS is preferably triggered as a result of a current flowing in the current circuit only if the current measured in the current circuit has exceeded a particular value for a particular period of time (filtering time of the PTS).
