  • Patent number: 10252619
    Abstract: Safety module for a charging station for electric vehicles having at least one processor, a sensor input, and a switching output. In order to be able to ensure the safety of a charging station independently of a charging process, the processor monitors at least one measured sensor value at the at least one sensor input independently of a charging process, and when the measured sensor value at the sensor input exceeds a triggering criterion, the processor outputs a switch-off signal at the switching output.
